Folks, turns out that whereas 64 bit clients for Linux PPC and Zseries are already available, it's not for x64 arch. Moreover, there are currently no plans for development the 64 bit version of BA client for Linux x64. Just to remind you that x64 client is required to overcome the 4GB memory limit

I have a client installation on a Linux TSM server. The server is SLES 10 SP2 x64 running on a hefty IBM x3850 8-way with 32GB or RAM. The server has over a dozen NFS mounts which need to be backed up. The total count of objects in all the NFS mounts is now approaching 40 million. Since years ago t
