I understand about the levels of the clients. Unfortunately, that is
easier said than done. We have clients still using V4 clients due to the
OS age and levels.

My concern is about the sudden appearance of these errors. The only thing
I can think of is the Windows boxes getting patches that have caused these
problems.  None of these use special management classes - just defaults -
and they haven't changed.

Hi Zoltan

Some readme files says that data format changed in TSM 5.4 which is
probably why you see this error. I have seen it in older versions of TSM
when the backup process changed mgmtclass between directorypool and
diskpool. Test not to use DIRMC?

An 'help 0536' indicates that we should follow the support matrix. :-)
However this doesnt explain why you see the errors but more suggest
where to spend the trouble shooting time.

Out of the blue, quite a few of my Windows clients are generating these
error messages:

1/31/2008 3:30:37 AM ANR0536W Transaction failed for session 121443 for
node ROSE-OTS (WinNT) - downlevel client does not support format of
stored files.

Considering the server hasn't changed since it was installed (5.5.0.0
eagerly awaiting first patches), I am trying to figure out what would
cause these errors ?  Yes, the clients are a little behind (5.3.x).

A quick Google search did not reveal much on these errors.
