Our network exists of several IP-domains, seperated by firewalls. A lot of NT servers suffer from the well-known Open File backup problem (e.g. NTUSER.DAT and IIS files). IBM/Tivoli recommended St. Bernard. We have done a test, and were surprised by the fact that it could only communicate via NetBIOS. From a security standpoint NetBIOS has not been installed. By the way: NetBIOS through a firewall is out of the question. Alternative is to make all NT servers St.Bernards master-console. Drawbacks of that solution is the enormous browser-traffic and control and maintenance in general. Question: Has anyone else struggled with this issue and found a practical compromise?
