If you need a 32 bit API as well you have to go back and use the AIX4.3.3
client. We are using TSM client 4.2.2.1 for AIX4.3.3 on several of our

Oh most excellent TSM'ers, who have been there and done that!
Using 4.x client talking to a 4.x host: If I exclude.dir a subdirectory, can
I archive files from beneath that directory and have them last? The "Using
the B/A client" manual says that you can perform selective backups from
underneath
SAN (aka LANfree) protocols are good for moving a few huge files. If you

TCP (what your LAN probably uses).
