What I like most about IBM's NAS Gateway server is that while it is NDMP
compliant, it is a server that uses a heavily modified Windows kernel
*and* a built-in TSM client. This allows you to run both image backups
and regular file backups as well. Since it uses the regular TSM client,
you have the option of LAN-free backups as well.
