Hi Zoltan! The page http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21053218 shows that the SP 8.1.2 client is supported with all 8.1 and 7.1 servers. I have never encountered issues with down-leveled clients in my 20+ years of TSM history. Kind regards, Eric van Loon Air France/KLM Storage Engineering

I haven't had the chance to test such a configuration (since my lone test server is at 8.1.1) and with the dire-warnings in the readme docs, I made sure everyone on my staff knows to NOT install 8.1.2 clients. From the readme/docs: Upgrade your IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ servers to Version 8.1.2 before you upgrade the backup-archive clients. If you do not upgrade your servers first, communication between servers and clients might be interrupted. -- *Zoltan Forray* Spectrum Protect (p.k.a.
