Greetings,

We're just about fed up with Retrospect; it's too "dumbed down" for
our purposes and it lacks many basic features(like backing up
mulitple clients and so on.)

However, we are a company which is at least 50% Macintosh, and 90% of
our servers are Macintosh systems.

I have no problems running backups off an NT machine, however, the
quality of support for Macintosh clients is very important.

When I worked for MIT, we used ADSM, but I was totally unimpressed
with ADSM's interface which was completely un-mac-like.  There also
seemed to be no built-in automatic scheduling unless the ADSM
application was actually running, which is not acceptable for a
business environment, especially in an environment with heavy focus
on video.

However, this was about a year and a half ago, and the version we
were using was probably not the latest, so perhaps things have
changed, I really don't know....

Any comments from people using ADSM in a 50/50 Mac/PC environment
would be greatly appreciated.

Brett
