Hello Bill, Granted that have the appropriate trust relationships configured between the domains, appropriate firewall rules and efficient performance tuning, you can backup clients residing in a domain different to that of your TSM server. In our Storage environment, we backup numerous clients in our affiliate domains with the TSM server being in our domain; we have no issue with our setup.
>>Are there any drawbacks ?<< All depends in your environment and your setup. You may need to work alongside your Infrastructure and Network Engineering for design and implementation. Good luck.

All 3 Domains will somehow, have access to central services like internet, accounting applications, etc. We intend to retain the one TSM Server that we have. If the TSM Server is say in Domain A, is it possible to backup clients in domains B and C ? Are there any drawbacks ? TSM Server Windows V5.4.2.0 Many Thanks Bill View your Twitter and Flickr updates from one place - Learn more! _________________________________________________________________ Get the best of MSN on your mobile http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/147991039/direct/01/ IMPORTANT: E-mail sent through the Internet is not secure.
