Has anyone had any luck using cosolidate backups with networker? Our
biggest challenge is backing up the massive amount of user files/folders
and consolidated backups would help this tremendously except for
something that I'm concerned about in EMC's help files:

        These are some of the limitations that can cause the save set
consolidation process to fail:
                Renamed and deleted directories cannot be consolidated.
If incremental                  data contains renamed or deleted
directories, the save set consolidation                 process will
detect it and abort. 

It seems to me that this means consolidated backups can't be used for
file servers since users are always renaming / deleting directories.

Any suggestions / thoughts?

Thanks,
