Hello,

First of all, let me preface my post by saying that I am a TSM novice.

I have a Solaris 9 server running TSM 5.2.1, which is physically attached to
an L25, LTO tape library.  This server is not using any storage pools.  It
is currently being used to back up a few UNIX servers each night, so neither
the server, nor the library are being stressed.

My team would now like to utilize the same tape library to perform backups
of their desktop and notebook Windows 2000 /XP systems.  They would not be
backing up lage amounts of data, only their D:/Documents and Settings
directory.  I've got another unutilized UNIX server which I've loaded
Solaris 9 and TSM Server 5.2.1, which I'd like to dedicate to these PC
backups.  This system is not physically connected to the library, but is on
the same LAN.  It also has a small disk array attached (2.1 GB x 12), which
I plan to use as a storage pool.  I'm not sure where to begin or what the
most optimal configuration would be.  Please help!  Many thanks in advance!
