Ok no problem - its just that maybe NetBackup is a bit OVER the TOP for such
a small environment.

Offering ntbackup would have been a cheaper (free) option :-)

I tried NTBackup first, before I noticed Veritas was installed. What I need
to do is to quickly make a backup of the disks since, as I mentioned, we
don't have any right now. NTBackup turned out to require some bureaucracy
around media pools and stuff, and I just want to get the stuff over to the
tape with as little admin as possible.

We already have Unix and Linux machines - and they're even being backuped...
