Topic: NT backup e-smith?

[David]

Is there any way to use  a WinNT server as a backup for e-smith server? How to configure the e-smith and WinNT?

Thanks

David, there are many possible solutions.  The best being to use an enterprise level backup software that supports both Linux and NT.  Veritas Backup Exec, Cheyenne ARCserve are the best known NT packages.  Both offer Linux add-ons.  TapeWare and Arkeia are good products as well.

In brief you load the backup program of choice on the NT Server and a corresponding backup client on e-smith server.  This client allows the NT Server backup software full access to the e-smith hard drive.
