I believe the best lessons are learned during trial by fire (at least you
remember them). Classes can help jump start a person, but there is no way
that a person is ready to administer a system fully after a class. One of
the biggest hurdles to overcome, for someone new to *SM who is familiar with
old styles of backups, is overcoming the monthly or weekly backup and put it
on the shelf attitude. *SM can be beat into this mode but is not designed
for it.
In my personal experience, I like to work with something awhile and then go
to the class. The class makes more sense and you can get problems that you
are struggling with worked out with the teacher.
Well so much for my 2 cents worth.

Subject: Teaching others TSM
What is the best way to teach someone how to use TSM?
When I learnt it some time back it took me 3 months of setting up the
server and clients and just trying different things to get all the
concepts.
When I came back to the company after 2 years I found the setup was in
fairly bad shape even though of the two people that maintained it while I
was gone one went to training.
I think hand's on is the best training, but I don't think the two people I
need to train can be made available full time just to learn TSM.
What is the general consensus about the classes? Do they truly help new
users?
