Thank You Harmeet, I'm looking at upgrading to 7.1 for both clients and Servers. All my lesser environments are auto-deployed with the 7.1 client for a burn in period, and there have been no issues to date.

I was hoping I could do more with the op center but the dashboard is making clients go weak at the knees. Also the TSM4VE updates have somehow made this a much more reliable product - no more blank screens in vCenter or inability to edit jobs. Also loving the separate interface without having to load vCenter or mess about with -optfile and shortcut settings. I did have issues upgrading one TSM server (6.3.4 but this guy has seen upgrades all the way from 6.2 days) but I was able to roll back painlessly - even without a DB backup ( upgrade process be damned... its just 'next', 'next', 'next' right?? :) ). I then followed the upgrade guide properly and still had issues so I'm suspecting the server itself has something fundamentally wrong with it. All the installations I have had have been on Win 2008r2 or 2012 with ample memory and processor (128GB RAM or above, 16 cores etc). I'm currently looking at how the hub/spoke replication works but given my experience so far I expect to be pleasantly surprised. All-in-all this is been such a good experience compared to TSM6.1.
