isn't there any other way of backing up sharepoint with networker?

I find the NMM module to be to complex and in some ways not as good as the
regular module clients where it's possible to do a backup from the client.

As far as I know, you have to backup everything Full when using the NMM 2.1

(Networker Module for MS applications 2.1.)

When using NMM, Networker creates a snapshot of the client, so it probably
also needs extra space on the client server.

I don't understand why there is no simple sharepoint module to use with
Networker.

We are using it now at my site.

If you have all your sharepoint assets on a single server, you only need 1
NMM.  If you have a distributed environment, you need 1 NMM per server.
 You need to back up all your servers doing sharepoint together.   You also
need to use NMM to backup the OS level,
so that has to run at a different time.

It was a bit tricky to setup the first time, but it works OK. The snapshots
aren't that big and get deleted from the server when they are streamed to
tape.    The Admin guide was fairly well put together, but it could've given
a few more bits of information.

We are about to embark on a big SharePoint project. Our consultants are

pushing us towards DocAve to back it up.
We have been a Networker site for years, currently backing up 8TB a night
with 240-odd clients (Networker server on 7.3.3,Solaris).
I'm aware of Networker Module for Microsoft Applications and its ability
to "do" SharePoint.
Anyway, my question is what is anyone's experience of NMM? Does it work?
Is it any good? Would you recommend it (for SharePoint)?
TIA
Bob
