I understand the problem with loosing a disk drive and I also
     understand the need to know when a disk is unaccessible and I
     understand ADSM's processing when files are deleted.

     Do other backup products offer the functionality of notifiying someone
     that files that were there yesterday are no longer there?  As this is
     what is really being looked for.

     I think the functionality to notify someone that a drive is bad should
     come from a monitoring package and not a backup product.  Other backup
     products we've used didn't have near as many functions as ADSM does in
     backing up files, let alone any monitoring of items.
