Good Afternoon,

I am pleased to announce that the TSM 5.2 release effort has begun. TSM 5.2 
is the latest version of the backup/archive client from IBM for the Windows 
and Macintosh(OS X) platforms.

New Features and Improvements to TSM 5.2 include:

-Mac: Scheduling can now be done as a "StartupItem" which allows TSM to 
handle scheduled events without requiring a user to be logged in.

-Windows: Open file support will allow files open by other applications to 
now be backed up and ASR support will facilitate "Bare metal" restores.

The TSM 5.2 Release Team will send updates throughout the process. For more 
information on TSM 5.2 and the release effort, see the TSM 5.2 release 
notebook at http://web.mit.edu/swrt/releases/tsm.

If you have questions, suggestions, or would like to participate in the 
release of TSM 5.2, please contact the team via email at tsm-release at mit.edu.

All the Best,

Patrick Whitney
