FWIW, we currently have 3 servers that fit within Zlatko's #4 category. Between all the servers there is about 4+ million files and about 1TB of data on an HP disk array. Journaling is on and works great. We average about 1-5% changed files each night and backups typically take about 15-45 minutes for all 3 servers! And I believe Zlatko is correct on his categorizing. Windows "sees" disk of type #1,2,3,4&5 as local. (#5 is a bit of a special case however...) It cannot tell the difference between a DASD SCSI/RAID disk, and a SAN-attached FC array. Windows "speaks" SCSI to the SAN disks the same as it does to DASD's and the HBA simply handles the FC encapsulation and transport (since FC really just does exactly that: encapsulates the SCSI commands). OS has/needs no knowledge of it. I would call up support again, as it SHOULD work. My two bits...

Do his SAN drives appear under the "Local" branch or "Network"? >(I noticed at my old 4.2 level, my locally-defined shares were listed under "Network" --- >\\server\uploads was there, it even had the local path in parenthesis, on the c$ drive.) Using Terminal services on the system I see the disk in question listed with the rest of the disks under "Local" in the GUI; however I also see it under Network. When I expand the tree I can see everything in both. The drive letter also matches. Disk management shows it as a Dynamic disk. This is at the latest client level in case I forget to say that.
