Hi, I have testet exactly this configuration: the latest OS/2-Client which is at 3.7.2.27 running on Warp v4 with fix pack 12 and downloadable from boulder backing up to a TSM server on AIX 5.1.0.0_03. I was running the server with ver 5.1.1.6 as well as 5.1.5.2 and opposite to what was said on the list the client works just fine. I guess the only disadvantage will be that clients ver 3.7.x are out of support. If you can live with that your customer should be fine backing up OS/2.
