Not entirely true. I am currently using the windows based admin console
to manage Netbackup 4.5 on Solaris. There have been a few minor issues
with it, but it works better and faster than the admin console on the
Sun console and a lot (read ~5 to 10 times faster) tha nrunning an
x-session to the server and using the console through it.

I think that what you have found is the "Remote Administration
Console". 
It is Windows MFC based (not Java) and, as far as I know, can only be 
used to administer Windows based master- & media servers.

I still believe it is like this:

- Remote Administration Console
    -> Runs only on Windows   
    -> Can only be used to admin. Windows based master- and media
servers

- Java Administration Console
    -> Runs only on Unix
    -> Can only be used to admin. Unix based master- & media servers.

I tried hard to get the Java thing runnning on Windows. It is java
after 
all. I succeeded except for one thing: I couldn't open the GUI window
to 
modify schedules. On Unix, shared libraries are used from within java.

So, the Java Admin console is not "pure java" and therefore cannot run

(yet) on Windows.

Regards, Joost
