5.2.3.0 is the latest client for Netware and definitely needed for NW6.x.

We use it (and older versions) on lots of Netware systems.

Yes, TSAFS is a royal pain and causes lots of problems/issues, so make
sure to get the latest TSA updates from Novell. They are critical in
getting proper backups.

Lots of folks recommend staying with TSA600 (due to the various problems
they have when using TSAFS) but Novell has stated they are phasing it out
in favor of TSAFS !

What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM and
TSA/SMDR






Hello everybody,

Netware seems to be the one environment where I find the stars need to
be aligned properly for everything to work for backups and restores.  I
am wondering what version of TSM client and what versions of
TSAFS/TSA600/SMDR everybody is using out there for both Netware 6 and
Netware 6.5 servers.  Anybody have any thoughts or recommendations?

Have a super weekend,
Peter
