>>IT"S A NON_ISSUE.


What is the impact to the existing backups when doing an in-place OS
upgrade, Windows TSM client 5.3.0 is already installed.

>> NONE.

The server node name will remain exactly the same.

Does the TSM client need to be re-installed?

>> NOPE.


Does the node need to be re-registered with the TSM server?
>> NOPE.


Is there any documentation on this process or best practices?

How will this impact restores of customer files from backups made on
Win2000 OS that need to be restored to the Win2003 OS?

>>NO PROBLEM.
Obviously, you don't want anyone to restore the SYSTEM STATE that was
backed up from Win2000 to Win2003.
If you want to guarantee that doesn't happen, rename the SYSTEM OBJECT
filespace on the tsm server to something else, or delete it, before the
first Win2003 backup.
