Just to clarify: The use of TSM recovery with Windows ASR (Automated System Recovery) delivered in the TSM v5.2.0 Windows client does *not* require a TSM v5.2.0 server. ASR support is available for Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server systems.
The use of Windows Volume Shadowcopy Services (VSS) to obtain system state and services backups with the TSM v5.2.0 Windows client for Windows 2003 Server *does* require a TSM v5.2.0 server. You can obtain system object backup of Windows 2003 Server using the non-VSS legacy methods (just as was done in Windows 2000) by using the TSM v5.1.6 client to a 5.1.x server.
