I think TSM Client you can restore file-level or full level. Also you can save
incremental backup during the week days and full backup each 7 or 15 or ..
days.

And with the Storserver Agent you can restore file-level back to the guest
machine without needing the TSM client installed on the guest, only on the
proxy.

Ah, in my limited understanding of the TSM 5.5 client's VM
capabilities (I prefer the STORServer VCB agent), it was capable of
actually making a file-level incremental of your VM guests. Making
full image backups is nice for DR, but otherwise quite useless, as you
pointed out.
