Contact me off list for specifics if you want them. Over all -- I am significantly LESS than happy with veritas in general and their tech support in specific. Again -- contact me directly for specifics. As far as the functionality of the agent -- once installed it seems to work nicely on FC3, I haven't played with FC4 at all, so I don't know about that. It can back up mount points etc without any problems, and you don't need to work over samba shares. Once you get it going, it seems to work ok. TIM
