I am not using 5.3 so can not really comment. But on the CLI vs GUI debate, whilst I agree that a working knowledge of the command line interface is a necessity, the GUI can be very useful for admins like me for whom TSM admin is just maybe 10% of my job and keeping up with all parameters and flags is never going to happen.

We've been over this CLI vs. GUI issue before. There are those TSM admins out there that are more comfortable with the help features and fill-in-the-blank processes of the GUI, and then there are those that truly learn all of the parameters and flags of the TSM command set by using the command line. (Of course, using the CLI is much easier when you can touch type at a decent speed--a skill set that I feel is absolutely critical for a decent admin of any flavor.) -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) MR Backup and Recovery Management 262.790.3190 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electronic Privacy Notice.
