Ran into an issue that needs some verification and/or a solution. Our
corporate data center uses NB 3.4 with a Win2k master to backup other Win2k
machines. When setting up the class their is an option to collect disaster
recovery information to include the WIndows 2000 system state or one can do
an include to include the System_State:\ to get a backup of Active Directory
Information. This is all fine and well and working perfectly. 

Now comes the new issue. We have another project that is external to us
where all backups for now will be handled by an SSP that uses NB 4.3 on
solaris. Same issue as above we need the system state of Win2k boxes backed
up, but are uncertain if this will be. They want us to do client side
includes.

1. Can I do an include of the system state at the client "system_state:\" ? 

2. It didn't appear, after talking with the tech supp., that the solaris
master could specify either "Collect Disaster Recovery.." or
"System_State:\" 

3. Anyone out there done full disaster recoveries of Win2k Active Directory
when the Master is Solaris? Any luck?
