Hi Paul,Terry

I investigated the Image Backup option a few weeks (months) ago when I
noticed it being mentioned in a sales blurb from Legato. (something called
"25 reasons to sell new licenses ;-) I didn't find it in the product either,
but somewhere I found a note (can't remember where) that image backup
requires another product (and version) that is planned to be released later.

Bye
Ernie

Hi Paul

That's a good question!  I searched the NetWorker Administrator's Guide for
Windows V7.0, and this is not discussed in there.  Nor can I find a manual
for it in the documentation area, nor do I see a product in the products
area that could do this.

Hm.

I am trying to get some information about the new block level backup that
is supposed to be available with Networker 7.0.  According to the legato
site they now have "Block Level Image Backup for Windows".

Has anyone used this feature?  Is this included in the base product of is
it a separate module?

The issue we have is we are trying to backup several servers with millions
of small files current backup times are 48 - 72 hours for a full backup.

Hoping block level backup will finally solve the issue.

Any other ideas on how to deal with millions of files in a windows / legato
enviroment.

OK the temptation is just too great not to "pile on" here.  In the same
"25 reasons to sell new licenses" document that Ernie mentions, one of
the reasons is support for Mac OS 10.2 and higher.  I have yet to find
that product on the 7.0 media kit that Legato sent me.  It is totally
baffling to me how a company can list off bullet points advertising new
features, enhancements, etc., for the latest version of their product,
and then when you get the product, the advertised features and packages
aren't there.  That just smells a bit funny to me.
