Does anyone have any experience with it? The people at Unitech (the company who makes it) claim that you can run backups during the day with no data corruption minimal network load. We need to backup Silicon Graphics workstations and Suns to 8mm tape drives. My main question is: Can this software do what Unitech claims it can???? They have been very reluctant to discuss how their product is ACTUALLY working out in a real environment. Thanks for any info.
