Hi Legato Listserve

This isn't a legato/networker specific question .... But, how is your
organization structured for Backup/Storage Staffing.  I'm trying to get an
idea of how other organizations deal with the storage/server growth
phenomenom - and any information you can provide would be most
appreciated.   Just so we are talking apples and apples - if you could
answer these questions.  I know this is a repeat from 2002 - but things
have changed a bit in the last 4 years.   

1.  How many systems do you backup with Networker?
> ~166 (When the envoronment reaches a certain size numbers aren't set for that 
> many days)
2.  How many Networker Servers (Zones) do you support?
> 1
3.  How many TB's of data do you support? 
> 100+TB
4.  How many storage nodes / tape devices / libraries ?
> 3xdisk storage devices+2 tape devices
5.  How many full time FTE are dedicated to supporting legato? (please use
percentages if partial FTE, for example .5 Windows FTE + .5 Unix FTE)
> Backup operator approx 50%.
6.  If you do have FTE's assigned to backups what are their job titles?
> Consultant (ie me)
7.  How is backup monitoring/reporting handled within your organization,
centrally through data center or decentrally through systems
administrators?
> Shell/mminfo scripts+monitoring
8.  What operating systems are you supporting for servers/storage nodes
and clients?
> Solaris, Rh linux, debian, WinNT, win2000, win2003 (generally whatever they 
> to backup)
9.  How many application specific backups do you provide and what type?
(e.g. Exchange, Oracle, Etc)
> 2+cluster modules
10.  Who makes sure your backups work on the weekends and vacations?
> Hopefully my collegues.
