[TriLUG] Tabe Backup Software

[Glenn Meyer]

That is what I am told by Veritas support also.  I have a customer 
currently using ArcServe on Win 2000 server to backup Red Hat Advanced 
Server clients.  Same problem there too - the client agent for Linux is 
available but unsupported.  We have been considering moving him to 
Veritas Backup Exec, but their support also tells me the client agent is 
available but unsupported.
