I used to use ArcServe to backup an NT Server 4 as well as 50 Clients. What
a nasty, bad, nightmare ect.... experience(especially for restoring). Now
comes the good news. I have been using Retrospect 5.15 to backup the same
at this client and at many other clients as well. It is simply GREAT. The
best part and what we are using it for which is the Restore functionality.
Very clean and simple. I can't say enough great comments on the product.
On top of that is the Support. Computer Associates can't come close. Dantz
has the right idea. Make a product that works and support its customers.
On Open File manager. I use the current version 7.0 and works without a
hitch with Retrospect. Even backs up an Open Exchange Server Post Office.
Previous versions 6.0 and before didn't work very well with Retrospect.

David-
Are you also using Open File Manager, and if so does it work OK in Win2k
with Services for Mac? ( I know this is not really a retrospect issue, but
not totally offtopic..)
