Steve,
Do not be confused by the reference manual
"TSM for NetWare Using the Backup-Archive Client " dated 99/08/04
which suggests the default is memoryefficientbackup yes
This is wrong the default is memoryefficientbackup no
Sorry about the previous message.
Thats what comes of cutting and pasting, then being distracted

Steve,
Steve,
We had some problems with netware backups hanging, when testing for 3.7.2.0
clients.
Service pack 8a resolved that issue.
Been ok for a while now.
I do not think you need to worry about memoryefficientbackup.
In fact if you want your filespaces converted to long file name support you have
to run
at least once with memoryefficientbackup no specified.
The default setting at TSM 3.7 and 4.1 is memoryefficientbackup no.
Do not be confused by the reference manual
"TSM for NetWare Using the Backup-Archive Client " dated 99/08/04
which suggests the default is memoryefficientbackup no .
This is wrong.

Steve,
All in all, it's pretty straight forward. However, Netware boxes seem to
specialize in a kind of odd, "they are all doing fine except for a few..."
type behaviour. It seems that even with uniformity across all your Novell
boxes there will be one or two that behave a bit oddly. Don't be afraid to
try different versions of the clients (ADSM 3.1.0.8 through TSM 4.1.1_16 and
anything in between) if you experience problems. Make sure your backup ID
had admin rights at all levels of the tree(s). If you've got the facilities
and resources consider collocation on your tape pools. It can save a lot of
time on restores, especially on large file spaces. The downside can be tape
usage and backup timeframe. Some folks have experienced problems with memory
resources not being released ( I think the memoryefficient setting deals
with this issue) but I don't have any first hand knowledge on that. It's
really not very difficult to implement ( you didn't mention if you are using
ADSM for any other backups currently), just a little quirky.
Good luck... , are you in my hometown of W-S, home of the defending 4A state
champion (b-ball) Reynolds Black Demons? (Sorry folks, couldn't help myself)
