Netbackup 5.1 MP4 with the server running under Windows.

I need to install a client on an Intel based Macintosh running OS 10.4
Support have said that I need to install a unix server (Solaris in my 
case) and push the client to the Mac. I don't have a Solaris server 
licence and the Windows licence (unsurprisingly) doesn't work. I am 
also told that there is only one Mac client which is used for all 
versions of the Macintosh. I have been referred to my sales rep for a 
unix licence key, but it seems a bit extreme to have to use a server 
just to distribute client software.

I find all of this hard to believe. Can anyone confirm this, or give 
me some ideas of a better way of doing things.

thanks

REMEMBER- There is only one certainty about storage systems - they 
*will* fail !
This includes backup and archiving systems.
If you want to be paranoid, make your own backups as well.
