It goes deeper than that. If you stick to the APIs within an OS and the applications that run under that OS, you never get bitten by the "we added a service pack, and now the backups aren't happening" bug that ArcServe and Netbackup suffer from constantly. Also, in the case of Exchange, Microsoft will not support an Exchange environment that has experienced mailbox-level backups and restores, since the Exchange APIs don't support them. -- Mark Stapleton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Certified TSM consultant Certified AIX system engineer MCSE
