My definition of stable is that ADSM backups and restores up successfully
and does not cause the Novell client to crash.  What level of Novell and
ADSM have you accomplished this with?  On how many servers?

        Hi Scott,

        our costumers do have the same environment as you and the netware
TSM clients
        are stable.

        At the beginning we had problems with the backup of the NDS volume.
        The costumers NDS volume is very big and with the proposed versions
of
         the smdr.nlm, tsa500.nlm and tsands.nlm we had no success (the
server has been
        crashed).

        After a look into the client  readme file in chapter "Novell NetWare
Specific
        Known Problems"
        we have decided to use newer modules.
        Currently we are sucessfull using the tsa5up6 package from the
novell web site
        and the tsm clients
        are working well.

        There is only one exception! Do not use compression, because the
backup time
        increases much more
        than you can expect.

        Sincerly
