I'm a little late in reading the emails, so forgive the delay.  I was using 
staging with networker on version 6.0.1.  It worked great.  I wasn't using the 
high/low watermark though.  I had set up a scheduled task and a batch script 
(I'm running server on NT4 SP6a) to perform the staging.  This way I could 
control what clients were staged and when.  I staged based on the age of the 
backup instead of a watermark.  Obviously I took the size of the disk into 
account when determining the age at which to stage each client.  I wasn't 
staging a lot of clients so the overhead of maintaining the script file wasn't 
a problem for me.  I did have just one disk partition to which the files were 
saved.

I also set up another disk partition to handle on-demand backups so that user 
initiated backups were fast.

But after using it for about one year, it just stopped working.  First backing 
up to the file type device no longer worked.  The file-type device would be 
marked full at 10GB when it had 350GB of space available.  Then staging began 
to fail - although I can't remember what errors I was receiving.

Calls to Legato indicated first that I should upgrade to 6.1.2 which did fix 
the staging errors, but not the disk being marked full prematurely.  They next 
said I had to upgrade to version 6.2, which I haven't done yet.  I am really 
hoping that this will fix my problems as I would love to get back to staging my 
data.  Makes the evening backups complete so much faster.
