I have been reading the tome that came with our purchase of the agent for 
Microsoft SQL server, and I have a couple of questions regarding setup:

1)  The manual talks about meta objects and data objects.  It states that meta 
objects should only go to a disk pool.  Am I correct in thinking that the meta 
objects are the SQL databases that keep track of the actual backups? I take it 
if you lose these
you're done for?

2)  What to meta objects look like?  I took a look at the server where the 
agent is supposed to reside and the two admins that run it were no help.  What 
file extensions do the meta objects have?

3)  Also, I'm already running the TSM client on the machine, the latest and 
greatest version 4.1.2.12 (and don't get me started about client versions and 
problems). How does the regular client interact with the TDP agent?

Any other advice from folks out there who are already doing this would be 
greatly appreciated.
