We allow our DMZ servers to initiate inbound communications with only our TSM 
server only on a certain port.  We set the node to polling so that there is no 
need for the TSM to initiate communications with the DMZ node.  We have done 
this for about 2 years.  Most of the work is on the firewall.

Hi All,

I have been asked to backup a couple of Windows boxes which are  behind a
firewall.

I need some advise & details as to how to go about it, without comprising
security.

Environment;-

TSM Server 5.2.2.0  running on Windows Server 2003
Backup/Archive client 5.2.3.1


Thanks


Bill
