We have many old clients backing up to our 5.2 TSM servers, a
few TSM V3 clients, and they still work great. IBM does not guarantee
that they will work, and we would probably have issues getting support,
but we find in most cases they continues to work... Until they don't :-)
5.1.5 clients should be fine, IMHO.

Subject: Server 5.2 with 5.1 clients?
Hello all,
We have a TSM server version 5.2.3.2 and have been upgrading clients to
be on the 5.2 client level and found that our old WinNT 4.0 servers are
not compatible with this version level. Will these older clients
(version 5.1.5.0) be able to backup\restore and archive\retrieve to a
5.2 server properly? If so, is this something that is guaranteed by
IBM, or merely a loophole that works?
Thanks,
Rob
