Jon,

Just a couple things to watch out for.  Clients will filter out filespaces
that they don't understand.  So if you backup the latest clients via
an AIX client, non-unix clients won't be able to see the filespaces.
This means you'll have to backup from a unix box, an OS/2/DOS/Windows box,
a Netware box, and a Mac.  Each client expects certain attributes with
their backed up data, and we don't currently support cross-client restore.

You can, however, backup all of this to a single node on the server.
So all your users could attach to that single node, and would see only
the filespaces that it understands.

Hope this helps...
