Any ideas? We're all pretty frustrated at the lack of a solid backup solution from Network Appliance. Hell, I'd go for something proprietary so long as it worked!
This is _very_ far from perfect, but we got have a private 100 MB network with just the filer and a legato server on it. The filer gets mounted on the legato server, and gets backed up like any other file system.
If we mount it in several pieces (eg, /project1, /project2, /project3), we can back them up concurrently and it goes even faster.
Not great, but it works.
