Just to add a related, but off-topic, suggestion about TSM 5.4 and IBM...

Last fall we (as technicians) were invited to an Executive Briefing at IBM-Tucson about 
our storage needs.  We received a "roadmap" presentation on TSM 5.4 and other 
storage concepts.

I've been to a couple of IBM's Executive Briefings now.  And I want to really 
advise you
all that if you ever get the chance for one of these: "Take it..."

I think that TSM 5.4 was due for release this month, however I don't know if it 
is on schedule.
I think the reindeer struggled this year and Santa was late getting to the 
developers. (Sorry, couldn't resist a belated festive funny)

A list of the new features/enhancements that were scheduled to be included 
follows below. Again, some might not have made the cut.

I would imagine that some of the IBM'ers will give you a more detailed 
corporate line a little later in the day.

Possible features;

The ability to collocate active data on sequential media (typically sequential 
access disk for fast restores and reduced size disk pools).

Integration of NDMP (Netapps/n-series) backups with TSM storage pools (allows 
filer-to-TSM-server backups).

Support for NDMP v4.

Backupset enhancements and improved flexibility (ability to produce 
point-intime backupsets using data in storage pools at any time).

New Incremental backup method using a local disk cache to minimise memory 
utilisation (can now process an unbounded number of files).

Vista Support (and Volume Shadow Copy Service integration).

Support for Intel based Mac OS X (and standardised to use normal option file 
names).

Support for hardware tape drive encryption.

Various Admin Center updates.

Note: Windows 2000 is not supported on ITSM 5.4.
