Last time I checked, the formal upgrade instructions say TSM 5.3 and
up are supported for migration, and that migration can be with DB
upgrade or via export.

That would imply to me that a TSM 5.3 server should be able to export
into a TSM 6.2 server; however, I wouldn't expect the inverse.
Usually, no more than 2 releases back.

With friendly Regards,
