    Hello,

    is there any support from IBM Spectrum Protect for backing up clients SuSE SLE Micro 5.5. or 6.0?

    Thanks for any hint.

    Kind regards, Igor

    Assuming x86 or Power I would give the native client a shot and see if it appears to work, if it does open a RFE with IBM with that info and see if they will add it to the compatibility list or give you a one off support statement.

    If it doesn't work there are a couple of fall backs, if SLE Micro is running as a VM use one of the numerous VM snapshot integrations with Storage protect and you are golden.  Next fall back would be hardware snapshot integration using your storage and the multiple supported storage platforms.

    If none of those work for you a dedicated backup agent on a supported platform and a NFS share to the unsupported OS will work just fine and in my experience is supported.
