Are you backing up the UNIX machines with NetBackup?  If so perhaps
that's your master and you just need to setup a client backup policy for
the Windows server.

Ok no problem - its just that maybe NetBackup is a bit OVER the TOP for
such
a small environment.

Offering ntbackup would have been a cheaper (free) option :-)

I tried NTBackup first, before I noticed Veritas was installed. What I
need
to do is to quickly make a backup of the disks since, as I mentioned, we
don't have any right now. NTBackup turned out to require some
bureaucracy
around media pools and stuff, and I just want to get the stuff over to
the
tape with as little admin as possible.

We already have Unix and Linux machines - and they're even being
backuped...
