To report on NetWorker you need to store data somewhere. You need a
database. NMC includes a RTL for iAnywhere. That's a chunk of your 200MB.

I know ;-) But that doesn't mean anything.

Can somebody explain why 200MByte overhead is required to administer a
backup application that has not changed much over the last 5 years or so.
It stills does the same, somehow, and it still has a lot of deficiencies
that have not been fixed for years, but why does it need 200MByte just to
configure a backup ? Or am overlooking the hidden agenda behind NMC ? (new
licenses ?).

Actually 7.3 can't really be a normal release because it looks to be over
3000% better compared to 7.1.3 and over 2000% compared to 7.2, based on
the
Windows installation packages. 

Has Legato re-invented bloatware? or are they trying to match Veritas
BackupExec in size ?

Just in case you didn't notice, the Windows package now has a size of
about
220MB compared to 8MB (7.1.3) and 12MB (7.2)

Bye
Ernie

Actually they are. 7.1.4 being a patch release IS listed on that page. 
7.3 is not a patch release so is not there, but if you go to the eval 
request page it is included in the versions you can request.

Although the logic behind this thinking is slightly flawed (i.e. you can 
have a patch release that is nevertheless a full installation package 
but you can't have a major release), it is in fact consistent with 
Legato's normal practice.
