[OpenAFS] Inquiry: Backing up OpenAFS with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM)

[Robert Petkus]

I am backing up OpenAFS on Solaris to TSM.  I first applied Rainer 
Toebbicke's patch to the OpenAFS source then ran configure with this 
flag:  --enable-tivoli-tsm

Cheers,
Robert Petkus

Here is Rainer's patch:
