We are primarily a Windows shop, with a handful of Linux (Red Hat)
servers.   For the first time, we are contemplating making one of these
backup clients, a dedicated storage node.   

Are there any known issues with mixing?  In this data center, we will
have 1 backup server, 1 storage node, and 6 dedicated storage nodes (all
windows), and 1 dedicated storage node - Linux.   Any issues with block
sizes, or tape control issues? 

TIA.
