I'm using 5.2.2.9 client to back up win2003 to a 5.2.4 server. Haven't had
any issues except with VSS. Those same issues with VSS were also present on
my 5.3.0 nodes.

Hi *SM-ers!
We are forced to downgrade our server level on our new TSM Server
environment because the hardware we are about to use (EMC DL700) is not 5.3
certified.
We are already using several 5.3.0 clients, so in the new environment we
will backup to a 5.2.4.0 server (on AIX) with 5.3.0.0 clients (AIX and
Windows) and start from scratch.
I cannot find any information about whether using 5.3 clients to a 5.2
server is supported.
I would like to use 5.3 for the client because this level is required for
System State backup on Windows 2003.
Thank you very much for your reply in advance!
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
