Hi All,
I'm attempting to move TSM from being a point backup solution for a particular
application to an enterprise solution, in an environment where the customer is king

As most application owners are used to individual tape dumps, I'm getting a lot of

Exclusively assigned files can not be backed up.

The most important issue to my way of thinking is the format with which you
