I'm fairly new at TSM, have a small test server setup so I can learn more
about the product.... however, I'm struggling a little bit with Win2k
device drivers - the services mix.

>From my understanding, you want to use Tivoli native drivers. However, if
I disable the win2k native device driver, the backup gui just sits,
waiting for media forever, so it's clearly not communicating with the
native device driver.

If I use the win2k native driver, it seems to back up fine, but
performance is abysmal.

removable storage service on win2k is disabled.

drive is DLT VS80

tsm is 5.2

What is the proper method of using device drivers on win2k????

thanks for any assist....
