I also agree with Don and David.
I am a networker administrator on both windows and unix and I agree that the
product is more stable on the UNIX environment, specially with the tape drive
and library communication (don't have to deal with RSM!!!).
So, I would suggest that you go with LINUX. Even if my background is a windows
system administrator.
For the library, I have a preference for ADIC. We have 2 of the and it's rock
solid, compare to our old StorageTek.

I would have to agree with you DON.
Please if you are a customer of EMC, write them and ask them to have a windows
developer re-write the win-version of Networker.
It is Crazy to me, to call support and have them give you command line fixes to
a GUI product.
Don't get me wrong, I think EMC/Legato support is the best support organization
I have interfaced with. They get the fixes to you and I would definitely
recommend their phone support...
But I do wish they would hire a competent windows developer to fix the GUI side.
Semper Fidelis, /ALE
