Del / all,

Thanks for the info.

We understand the difference between TDP/Notes and TDP/Domino (R5).

My real question was "is it necessary to touch NOTES (R4.x) clients immediately
after upgrading the server to TSM 4.1?"

We did the server upgrade three days ago, and so far we have not seen any issues
other than one failed archive session that had nothing to do with TDP.

Further info is still welcome.

Thanks.

Tab

Just to make it clear... TDP for Domino can take advantage of the
new transaction logging in Domino R5 but it does not require it to be
turned on
in order to run full backups.  It only requires that you turn on archival
transaction logging if you want to back up the changes to your databases
each night (by just backing up the transaction logs.) So, even if you are
not taking full advantage of the transaction logging introduced in
Domino R5, you can still use TDP for Domino to protect your data.
