We're using Harbor (it's a backup-tool from our mainframe-system). They provide a client for Linux (of course it was long time in beta-state), which costs about 30 times (!) more than the windows-version of it. So that's nothing for us. The money isn't the only fact, why we won't use their tool for backing up our linux-machines. But that it costs 30 times more money, than the windows-clients, is the main-reason against. > OK, three solutions come to mind: > > 1.

That's ok - but a lot of work anyway... ;-) Sorry, don't know the translation of the following sentence: "Faulheit ist die Triebfeder der Menschheit" ;-) > [...] > 3.

But that's ok. It's great that you're delivering such a tool with SAP DB. But there's no hint in the documentation for this tool.
