Yes, you can "convert"-- they "migrate" it to the Passport Advantage program (which has it's own section just to migrate folks) and you provide them with the number of processors that you had it running on when it was sold as a services offering, and then they whip up an offer on maintenance of ITSM-System Backup & Recovery. This was done for us (MoDOT).
I am trying to get to the point where I can play with it-- I've been swamped in other things TSM. good luck!

Since then Tivoli began marketing SYSBACK that integrates with TSM. We were told you can't convert from IBM to Tivoli SYSBACK licenses. Has anyone else had this experience. Our new licenses will be Tivoli SYSBACK and presumable will allow us to do a SYSBACK right to a cartridge based storage pool. For our regular SYSBACKS we back up to disk, then archive the files using Tivoli. Has anyone used the Tivoli SYSBACK?
