Dwight,

We are backing up about 300 Windows clients to 1 of our ADSM servers.

10 of the clients are NT servers: only 1 of these is very large (about 100
GB of disk), the rest are 2-10 GB.

290 of the clients are desktops with 1-2 GB hard disks; about half are
Win95, the remainder are WinNT workstation.

We are still Version 2.1.5.13 on AIX 4.2.1, using an STK9710 for backstore.

If this is of use to you, feel free to contact me...
