Hello KD

Here is my points against TSM:

1. You can't do restores from the TSM server, not even from the commandline.

2. You can only have one session running to client scheduler (TSM bpcd)

3. Restores takes very long time to start, because the client have to search 
the server database over the network.

4. Restores are slow because the client updates the server database over the 
network.

5. There is no job monitor, quick status overview. 

6. You only get completed, missed or failed on a schedule and no indication 
of the problem.

7. There no logs to speak of on the clients and as far I know no VERBOSE 
option.

I probably find some more points next time I have to work on one of our TSM 
customers. 

Regards
Michael
