YES, Davina matches exactly the point
(which she does most of the time :-)
[ enjoy your postings very much -sg-]

Persistent binding would only help, if NetWorker
could work with physical addresses like [email protected].
Unfortunately it could not, or could it? [ TSM can :-(  ]

Changing the OS type is NOT an option,
because investment in 250++ servers (many 4-/8-way) is already huge.

So I'm still looking for other Wintel NetWorkers
who have to deal with the problem and have found ways to ease the pain a 
bit.

Has someone found a way to reorder SCSI addresses to Windows device names
"on the fly"?
