I've had very limited success with the linux client and basically gave up on it. We're using the ancient SCO v2 client running under iBCS2 emulation which I have packaged up to make it easy to install. I'll email it to you in a separate email. The GUI doesn't work properly and it can't handle files over 2Gb in size, but otherwise the command line client works fine. Since there is no /compat/iBCS2 structure the emulation doesn't hide the FreeBSD filesystems which is a major pain with the Linux client. About the brightest prospect I can see in the immediate future is finding an implementation of NDMP for FreeBSD and using NDMP support in TSM. Unfortunately that support is currently only at NDMP v2 which means whole volume backups and restores. File level backups and restores require NDMP v3 compatibility which is due in TSM middle of next year (apparently). On that topic there was a little traffic in freebsd-scsi in January 2001 regarding NDMP on FreeBSD. Has anyone got this working? Carl.
