Not supported by what?

If you've got a DD, then the simplest way to connect it to TSM is via
files.  Some backup apps require something that looks like a library, in
which case you'd be buying the VTL license.

FWIW, if you're already in DD space, you're paying a pretty penny.  The
VTL license isn't chicken feed, I agree, but it's not a major component
of the total cost.
