I do agree that much of this is outside the scope of the NetWorker
alias.However, I wonder if the implied question is if NetWorker can be used to
help? If this is the case, the answer is "yes, within limits". NetWorker
gathers information about hostnames, file systems and a few other things for
clients that have been configured for backup and recovery. There are ways this
information can be used to give you an idea of how things are configured in the
NetWorker data zone. Applications such as Wysdm (recently mentioned on this
list) take advantage of this to deliver powerful reporting and analysis
capabilities.If this is your real question, could you please be just a little
more specific so we can figure out how to help you?> Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007
