Re: What is everybody using for Netware backups as far as versions of TSM
and TSA/SMDR

Since TSM doesn't use the native tsagw interface, you almost have to use
St. Bernard OFM. The only other alternative I know of is to run a cron
job to stop the poa/mta before the backup, and guestimate when to bring
them back up. As far as I've seen though, using the OFM combo works
just fine. I
I backup roughly 45 netware servers ranging from v5.1 to 6.5. The
client version is 5.2.2.3 on all of them currently, as I've had no need
to move to 5.2.3. The TSM server is 5.2.2.2. I've got mixes of tsa500,
tsa600, and tsafs depending on the OS version. The only one I've ever

5.2.3.0 is the latest client for Netware and definitely needed for NW6.x.
We use it (and older versions) on lots of Netware systems.
Yes, TSAFS is a royal pain and causes lots of problems/issues, so make
sure to get the latest TSA updates from Novell. They are critical in
getting proper backups.
