Hello All,

        I am actually doing some testing now using Data Protector 5.0
(former OmniBack II).  And yes, it was real slow over the 100 BaseT link.
It took like 20 minutes to backup 70Mb ...  But Data Protector allows you to
use locally connected drives to the system you are backing up.  Granted that
you lose the library scenario of having all your tapes in one place, but you
do have one software manager for archiving and managing your backups with
multiple platforms.  I'm backing up Sun, Linux, HPUX, and coming soon
Win2000.  It is all supported.  I'll let you know how all the testing goes.
        After saying all of that, is there anyone out there that knows Data
Protector and thinks I'm nuts for using it :)  It seems to be working fine
so far.  Let me know.

Thanx
  Dane Bodamer

Ah yes, I would agree that knowledgeable programmers are useful!  Of course,
HP has I suspect, been laying off a few of those people.  With source code
and $$$$ much can be accomplished!  Maybe even gigabit Ethernet!
