Good info. Thanks for sharing your viewpoint on this. I'm sure it will
figure into how we manage the NDMP side of things. From what I have seen in
the industry, there are no pretty NDMP solutions - and Legato has many of its
own problems in this area, although it's been released since some time last
year (DAR and DDS).

So, to clarify - you're saying that I cannot push out Windoze client updates
from a Sun "master?" What about using a Windoze machine (does it have to be a
master?) to update other Windoze boxes?
We do not want to support more than one kind of backup server, a Windows box
would not be a server in our environment.

Yes, the flexibility of the different formasts would be a boon.
