It seems Tivoli has never been interested in marketing TSM for backing up
workstations (which REQUIRES the ability to recover user profiles).<

 
Good point, Wanda. Most customers don't give a flip about restoring a server's 
user profiles, since most servers use the default user profile, which is 
rebuilt when you reinstall the OS.
 
However, I will say that TSM is not the only backup/recovery system that has a 
hard time with user profiles. NetWorker suffers from the same problem.
 
It seems to me with older TSM clients that the only user profile that doesn't 
backup is the one used by the logon(s) that is/are active during the backup. 
Does anyone still find this true?
