Shane-

I apologize, but I think you are mistaken on two points:

(1) the NBU Vault capability that Wayne is asking about
(to produce an Iron Mountain FTP file) is not new to 6.0;
it has been a feature since 4.5 FP3, IIRC.

(2) there is no upload capability. Vault writes the IM text file 
in a certain format (the one used by Iron Mountain's internal
tracking software) to a user-specified directory on your master 
server.  It's then up to the user to transport the file to 
Iron Mountain.  (but it wouldn't be too hard to automate it
using a .netrc file and the Vault hooks to run a "notify script" 
at the end of a vault job.)
