Eric,

you need both the v5.2 client and v5.2 server if you want to exploit the
new "Automated System Recovery" feature of Windows Server 2003.
If v5.1.6 (or later) client and/or v5.1.x server are used you can only
have System State/System Object backups and restores.

        Subject:        Windows 2003 backup to 5.1.7 server?


Hi *SM-ers!
In the TSM client manual for Windows 5.2 I found the following line:

Your Windows Server 2003 client must be connected to a Tivoli Storage
Manager Version 5.2.0 or higher server. (page 86)

Does this mean that Windows 2003 system state recovery doesn't work when
you
are connected to a 5.1.7 server?
This is a little bit unclear because the  5.1.6 client readme files states
that Windows 2003 is supported, but the (probably older) 5.1 Windows -
Backup-Archive Clients Installation and User's Guide doesn't list Windows
2003 as a supported platform and thus doesn't discuss system state
recovery.
We can't upgrade to 5.2 because of our current AIX level...
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
