We are backing up about 40 servers, and about 150 desktops.
Expect the desktops to grow to 300-400 within a year.
Mostly Win95 and WinNT, with a smattering of AIX, Sun, & SGI Unix.

(And we have had no problems doing bare-metal restores of WIn95 machines
after a hard disk failure.)

        We use ADSM to back up Windows/NT workstations. It does an
effective
        job, and we can do "bare metal restores" from the backup. We set
up auto
        schedules, just like an NT server. People are scheduled once a
week, and
        are asked to logout of Windows/NT and leave their workstation
powered up
        on their assigned backup night.

        We don't use it for Windows/95 because one does not have any
reasonable
        way to do a full restore if the disk fails.
