I have used Convex UniTree 1.7.7 on an HP 9000 Model 755 that was an AFS 3.3b
client. UniTree had no inherent conflicts with AFS in this situation.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "back-end for AFS data", though.
Can you explain to me how you wanted to use UniTree with AFS?
There were only three ways for us to get data into/out-of the Unitree
filesystem: ftp, rcp, and NFS. We found rcp too limited for our needs and NFS
was too unstable and too insecure. Thus, we used ftp. I hope you have a
later and/or more flexible version of UniTree than we had -- we eventually
abandoned UniTree as a mass-storage solution because it was too unstable
and took too much system administrator time (AFS has *much* more
functionality than UniTree and yet is trivial to administer in comparision).
