In order to properly backup (and be able to restore) Windows 2003 fully,
you should be running a TSM server and TSM clients both at levels 5.2.3
or above. There turned out to be issues with system files and system
state backups in early versions of 5.2. (Besides, if you're going to
upgrade, you might as well upgrade to current versions.)
