Customers interested in participating in the beta test
of Tivoli Data Protection for Exchange V2 should fill
   ======================================
out the following form and send it to:

   TDPbeta AT tivoli DOT com

Nominations will be accepted until 8/18/2000.
The beta test is expected to start in October.

Highlights of V2 of TDP for Exchange are as follows:

* Automatic Expiration and version control by
  TSM server policy  =>  The current product stores each
  backup object with a unique name thereby circumventing
  the automatic expiration and version control provided by
  the TSM server.  The new version provides significant
  changes in the backup object naming and handling to allow
  exploitation of these automatic data management features in TSM.

* Support and Exploitation of Exchange 2000
  - support for multiple storage groups
  - backup/restore of individual databases within a storage group
  - parallel backup/restore of separate storage groups
  - restore log and patch files to a temporary location

*Exploitation of Win2000 Installer
