I pretty much agree with the above, but I *do* care about gui for
most of my users.

The problem may or may not be the new dual boot Macs - we already have
a client for the OS 9.1 side, but need one for the OS X side. Should
they overlap in the files that they back up? Should they exclude
files not distinctly associated with each OS version? The future is
going to be OS X, so most of the development should be focused there.
However, for the duration of this year, most of my users will be
in both worlds and expect to be backed up...

If you could back up and restore files from either OS from one 'side'
(OS X), that would cover it for us. This, of course, introduces a
lot of other issues, but ones I can deal with. Bottom line is a
working client for OS X.

I'm still thinking about this and I am waiting to hear back from our
Mac admins here to see what they would like.
