I noticed the following in the "help" regarding BACKUP IMAGE:
"Image backup of IBM TotalStorage SAN File Systems is not supported."

... and in the Backup/Archive Installation manual, 5.2.2, Technical
changes for version 5.2.2 - Dec 2003 section
Backup and restore support for IBM TotalStorage SAN File systems
Backup and restore for IBM TotalStorage SAN File Systems is supported on
the Windows 2000 client.  See "Supported files systems"

... and that section also indicates IBM TotalStorage SAN File System is
supported on Windows 2000 only.

Is data on an IBM Shark considered on an IBM TotalStorage SAN File
System?

The SHARK has nothing to do with the filesystem. 'IBM TotalStorage SAN
File System' is a filesystem like NTFS and FAT32 (but different). The
shark is just a smart bunch of disks. Having data on a shark does not
imply the use of the IBM san filesystem, nor does the use of the san
filesystem require a shark.

I would not automatically assume that, since MS has a habbit of changing
so much in a major OS update that things that work on win2k might or
might not work on win2k3.

Thanks in advance
