    Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, and please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to this RFE, we do understand the requirement and the rationale behind it but unfortunately we currently do not plan to implement this function as described here. it's worth noting that to the best of our knowledge Citrix Xen currently does not provide functionality similar to the vStorage API that can transfer data directly from the data store to the backup server.

    Thanks for submitting this enhancement request, we did not see enough details in this requirement to have a significant discussion and a meaningful response, please provide more details about this requirement including the business reason (impact to SLAs, reduced RPO etc.), technical functionality  (what are you trying to achieve, and why do you think it should be done in this specific way etc.), some additional details about your current environment (for example a TSM 6.2 server running on AIX, the client is running on RHEL etc.) and any particular reason why the current implementation and best practices aren't meeting your requirements, specifically which type of support would you like to see for Citrix? utilizing vStorage API? that's strictly a VMware API, so please clarify what would you like to see for Citrix and why
