Can you outline your configuration (i.e. SCSI/SAN?, Media Manager?, NW
version and platform, etc.)

Cheers,
Jim

I back up 40 NT/2000 clients and 10 Novell clients.  I never have any
issues with the Windows clients unless someone makes changes to the
client systems and doesn't tell me.  The Novell clients on the other
hand have always been a nightmare.  Thankfully, we are slowly getting
rid of our Novell boxes.  Our windows environment has been quite clean
and is prone to be error free (knock on wood).  I have no complaints
towards these clients since they have been quite reliable for us.

Regards,
Phil M.

Presently, we backup about ~40 Solaris boxes and very reliably. It has
been dictated from higher up that we look at backing up NT/W2k servers.

What type of problems have people been having with NT/W2k server backups
to a Solaris backup server? I also heard that there was in the past a
problem with backing up the Windows registry. Is this still a problem?

Thanks!
Paula
