Well, unfortunately I haven't yet been able to backup this xp system yet. I 
suppose
I could shell out the 15000+$ they are asking to bump the version from 
6.0.something to
the latest and throw it all on EMC support, but the fact that we also have many 
freebsd 
systems and EMC Legato refuses to recognise the existence of that particular 
OS, makes 
me fear that we would be spending a shitload of money to a product that doesn't 
even 
provide an official client for most of our servers.


Anyway, thanks a lot,
Cheers,
Athanasios
