Hi all,
I've recently started talking to product management at EMC about
when/if
we'll get a Mac OS X client with Intel support.
I have few customers with Intel Macs out there suffering from not
being
able to backup their brand new laptops and desktops; I'm just
wondering
however, how many of you are starting to see Intel Macs pop up in your
organisation and have to start thinking about backing them up?
I haven't seen any Intel Macs pop up here at Temple University that
need to be added to our nightly backup schedule. We may have some
Intel Macs, but they are probably not being used as servers. I doubt
many organizations will see anything like that happen until Apple
replaces its G5 servers with Intel-based servers, but that may happen
very soon. Look for an announcement at this Monday's Macworld
Developers Conferences.
You have me curious though. Why wouldn't the NetWorker client for Mac
OS X work on an Intel-based Mac now? Wouldn't it simply run in
Rosetta emulation mode? Although the CPU has changed, the file
systems for Mac OS X haven't changed in years. In fact, I am typing
this message on an Intel-based Mac portable that I purchased last
March. I am going to bring it to work today and see what happens if I
try to back it up via my NSR server. I will report back when I am done.
