We are currently installing NT boxes for Sybase servers,,, We have IBM
mainframes as well as AIX... The IBM folks would like us to use the ADSM
product to backup our servers but we are leary. Most of us come from the
LAN environment and are concerned about backing up servers across our Token
Ring (16) and the availability of the backed up data when we have a
problem. All the NT vendors are recommending LAN based software (ie
ArcServe) and caution us that the ADSM product will not fully backup open
files, and the registry...  I Was hoping that someone had some experience
in this arena and could give us a headstart on evaluating these options.

As far as the server /Client question - Were not sure ...  That depends on
the response time and controls we will have in the envronment.

By the way, All the servers are Compaq 5000 with - 4 200Mhz processors and
256MB RAM and 40GB DASD and four TR cards.

Thanks in advance for the responses..,

Ken

Ken,

 Quite a few of us use ADSM on NT.  Are you interested in NT as ADSM
clients or as a ADSM Server?
