The real advantages to a Retrospect client vs. a mounted volume would be the ability to store file permissions, access certain open files, and schedule backups from the client side...non-trivial advantages, to be sure. I would guess that Dantz is at least taking a long, hard look at Retrospect for Mac OS X, which in effect means that they're looking at Retrospect for UNIX. Let's all hope so, but in the meantime I'll be using SAMBA and DAVE to backup my UNIX boxes if needed. <>< Jon L.
