Having used it back in the Solaris on E class servers, let me be the
first to say nothing.

Oh, wait, that is nothing will want you to pay for this, not I am saying
nothing, lol.

Its a fine backup for large scale server operations with huge tape
backup systems.  You know, Sun systems.  For non-tape backup schemes, or
tape backup environments with only one or two servers, its over kill.
Akin to renting a semi to pick up a rake at Home Depot.  It will get the
job done, but its way complicated.

For smaller setups (<6 server; <100 desktops; and/or <500GB data), I
still stand by my recommendation earlier of BackupPC.
