Another disk operations group is using IBM TotalStorage DS6000  Storage
Manager 5.0.5.281 and needed to remove it from the Win2003 server.  After
doing the removal the backup group found that the backups failed that
evening.  Turns out that the TSM 5.3 client, web client, scheduler and
journal executables and support files all disappeared from the server. The
services were still there but obviously no longer running.  Has any one
experiences this?  Was there something that the disk operations group set
or failed to set when they removed TotalStorage  that took all TSM with
it?

The good news is - we were able to easily install the TSM Client again and
restore everything and backups work fine again without any additional
configuration.  Sooooo  DiskAdmin - 0     BackupAdmin - 1.
