Well - did some trial backups with NetVault in between. What looks  
good is the quick access to files inside BU-sets.
What did not really work always was the search fkt.
Windows not really is an option for us. At the moment I am thinking  
about splitting up large backup sets and maybe going back from intel  
to a G5 (just switch from a G4 to Intel which is faster but not very  
impressive)
