1.  How many systems do you backup with Networker?
About 850 but this figure includes cluster services so physical client count is less.

2.  How many Networker Servers (Zones) do you support?
33 servers, but being consolidated to less in near future.

3. How many TB's of data do you support?
Difficult to tell since there is a mix of SAN and local storage. Monthly backup throughput is 1524 TB, a combination of full and incrementals.

4. How many storage nodes / tape devices / libraries ?
15 storage nodes. 234 tape drives. 28 libraries.

5. How many full time FTE are dedicated to supporting legato? (please use percentages if partial FTE, for example .5 Windows FTE + .5 Unix FTE)
About 5/6. Team of 11 also supports SAN disk storage and other inferior backup products. Plus monitoring and operations staff who change tapes for offsiting.

6.  If you do have FTE's assigned to backups what are their job titles?
Storage analyst (or senior/principal etc.)

Centrally via a monitoring team.

Servers and storage nodes are Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, and Celerra. Clients are the same plus Linux, NT4, W2K, W2K3.
