I'm interested in how people are doing Mac backups in a nominally-trained
user environment.  For instance we have 20+ Macs that we backup nightly
using the CAP stuff (slightly hacked) running on a SUN workstation to
schedule/spool full and incremental backups over appletalk.
The backups run primarily without user intervention.

We're probably going to double our population of Macs in the near future,
and users are tending toward larger disks every day...so I'm trying to
evaluate our options.

If anyone is using Mac networking products for UNIX/VMS/MAC or has information
I would appreciate some e-mail...Ideally I'm interested in systems that
allow remote scheduling of at least 2 levels (e.g. full...incremental)
of Mac backups.

I'm especially interested in any VMS appletalk implementations.
