TSM server-free can be used only when both TSM server and TSM client are
on Windows. It is also limited to complete partitions (filesystem image).
The only way to use TSM server-free backup with SAP R/3 is to do offline
backups.

ITSM for ERP (former TDP for R/3) *cannot* work with server-free
regardless of the platform. Also you can obtain much better results with
LAN-free!!
Server-free seems to be a deadend in the SAN evolution. Third-party data
mover functionality is not widely supported by SAN devices vendors.

        Subject:        Exist Server-Free for TDP SAP


        - Is there anyone who can give me any information about TSM
Sever-Free?  How fast is the Server Free Backup performance compared to
LanFree?
        Can we realize the SAP database backup using Server-Free?   Or
Does Server Free for TDP for R/3 exist?
        Thank you
