A lot of development ?!? Which ones - journaling, sub-file backup or
something else.
IMHO journaling is only useful for filesystems with millions of small
files. Yes, this may help but is W2k specific. UNIX compensates with better
I/O throughput. And running any DB server on Windows for me is saving on
purchase to increase maintenance costs. But what if unstable server goes
down several times and has to be restored more often than a reliable UNIX
box.
Sub-file backup is implemented only in Windows because it is most used
platform for mobile users. Maybe soon we will have this functionality also
on Mac and/or Linux. But does anyone move a server constantly to locations
with only dial-up access?

It would be interesting to see what is the installed base for each
platform. Some of the subscribers to the list already have shown what they
do have (or plan to install).

Subject:        Re: TSM on WinNT

TSM on NT works well.  TSM on W2K works even better.  A lot of the new
development going forward is actually on Windows servers so it may exceed
UNIX in terms of functionality.  For smaller environment I would recommend
TSM on an W2K server, but for large environment backing up at least 1TB a
day or more, I have to stick with AIX or Solaris for my TSM server.

Just my $.02
