Does anyone run TSM 5.1 on Windows XP Pro? Looking at the Quick Start TSM
Guide for Windows, it says it will run on XP Pro (as well as 2K server, NT
server - we would run on XP Pro because we don't need the server for
anything other than TCP/IP TSM backups).
We would need the device drivers for the Overland Storage Neo 4100 and 2 X
LTO-2 drives to work as well in Windows XP Pro. Anyone have that config
and are happy with it?
XP Pro doesn't have the same problem as linux right? Like you can't
install a security patch because it will break the device drivers, or some
such horendous thing?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
