Backupsolution for heterogenous network

Dear List,

We used Retrospect for the last years... but it takes years by now to  
write and restore. Especially as there is now Update from EMC since  
2005 for the Mac Version and there have been lot of weird issues, we  
are looking for something better. I have had a glimpse at NetVault  
and thinking about a Testdrive - but before wasting my time I thought  
is should ask here first.

Clients are up to 2 Win and one Linux System only OS X machines. We  
use PPC and Intels. We have some clients in our office which we  
directly backup with Retrospect and some more servers in our housing,  
wich we mirror by rsync into the office and then backup the mirror by  
retrospect.

Backup Sets can grow larger than 1 Mio files even with quarterly  
recycling backups.

So far by now - my ears are pricked up ;-)
Cheers Eckbert
