Folks,

someone already posted the answer to searchstorage.
I wanted to do as wall but was prohibited by our internet acces restrictions.

One trivial point still not mentioned in the posting is:

the reporter writes that TSM is slow in restores because of its incremental 
backup method,
and arguments that full backups do not have this problem.

Well then... TSM does have full backup option(s) as well, 
at least 3 of them: archive, selective, and image. 
So IF this is THE solution for the unknown expert he/she can simply use it WITH 
TSM.

best regards

Juraj
