What??? give me half and I'll do it for you, heck give me a quarter of
that!!!
I would suggest DAT. However, be aware that the NT Backup software that
comes with NT can only be run for a tape backup hooked up locally. Once
running you CAN backup network servers.
On the Mac side you have Retrospect, a very excelent software which will
backup any network volumes that the Mac can see. And I bought a Mac tape
drive for about $500. Of course it's not the fastest one. But worse-case
scenario, you would need one for a Mac, one for an NT server, and one for
Novell server??? (Not really since you could use the one on the NT server
to back that one up). Also with one hooked up to the NT server you could
backup the Registry, too bad you can't do that remotely (at least not
with that software).
