We're running 5.3 clients against a 5.2 server right now and it works
just fine. And since I don't plan on upgrading my servers to 5.3 until I
HAVE to do it, it will stay that way for a while.

I have one problem in my test environment that I have not bothered to
look into: my Linux 5.3 TSM client on debian (sarge) hangs in q sched
with my 5.2 TSM server.  I have no reason whatsoever to believe this is
even a tsm problem.

We currently run TSM server v5.2.2.2 , and will shortly have some linux
clients to backup.  We would be running SLES9 which doesn't seem to be
supported by the 5.2x clients.   The 5.3 client does support it, but I
wasn't sure of the safety/wisdom of running the 5.3 linux client against
a 5.2x server.  Anyone have a comforting experience, or horror story to
share?
