Hello,

Over the past 5 years I have implemented ADSM for the 2 different employers
for whom I have worked.   The sites are both in the 30 to 50 server
(clients) size.  I have been quite happy with ADSM; highly reliable, highly
optimized for backups.  If restore performance is good enough it seems to be
an ideal solution.

I am moving on and one of my tasks will be to architect a network backup
solution.  The new site will start with approx. 100 clients, but the
opportunity is there to ramp to 1000's.  As long as one does the homework on
database size and bandwidths/data transfer times ADSM seems to scale quite
nicely.

There will be some incumbent support for a Legato solution at the new
location.  I would like to keep an open mind, but I would prefer to not do a
full blown eval of Networker vs. ADSM.

If anyone can share experiences, or, even better, parts of an eval of these
2 products (comparatively) it would save me a lot of time and effort.

TIA.
