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

[Rainer Laatsch]

At University of Cologne, we currently do AFS backup into TSM running under AIX.
We are going to buy TSM under Linux and need AFS backup functionality there 
urgently.
Best regards / Mit freundlichem Gruss
