Dantz may not have had a Windows server until recently, but they have
had a Windows Retrospect client for a long time. Years ago I had
terrible problems backing up a Windows NT 3.5.1 server, and Dantz
technical support were very helpful. Despite Retrospect being the
only application affected, I eventually identified a hardware
problem. Windows NT 3.5 experience suggests a reasonable Wintel
heritage. :-)
So a personal vote of confidence from years of backing up Windows and
Macintosh clients: I have complete confidence in the Retrospect
software and in Dantz technical support, for both Windows and
Macintosh.
>1. Does anyone have the Retrospect CLIENT running successfully on a

Yes.
My only problem was that when the Windows 2000 server was first set
up, the TCP/IP protocol was binding to a second ethernet card with no
ethernet attached. Walking through a Dantz trouble-shooting guide
helped me to resolve the problem.
>2. Does anyone have the Retrospect Client working on a dual-homed machine?
Not at the moment, but our previous Windows NT 3.5.1 server acted as
a gateway between two ethernet segments and was backed up using
Retrospect client. (Which might or might not be dual-homed, excuse my
ignorance.)
