Our department is working up a network back-up proposal.  We have settled 
on an Exabyte-based system and are waiting for the release of Retrospect 
Remote.  However, I have learned that PCPC has been shipping a product 
called Netstream for about a year now which provides centralized backup of 
each workstation on the network across multiple zones.  Could anyone with 
experience with this product comment on its reliability, strengths and 
weaknesses?  Will it work with Exabyte juke boxes?

Also the Exabytes are quite expensive  in their Mac incarnation.  How 
difficult is it to hang a Mac SCSI cable off a SUN Exabyte drive?
