If the data on the filer has NTFS ACLs, you'll need to backup over CIFS or a use a package that supports NDMP. If you back up over NFS, you'll loose any NTFS ACLs and as well as any DOS file attributes. If you backup over CIFS, you'll not only retain the ACLs and the DOS bits, you'll retain the UNIX file permissions as well. Plus Data ONTAP keeps an archive bit (DOS) on UNIX files so that you can do "incremental" backups of UNIX data.

Hello:
Any suggestions on backup software involving an F85, 4 LINUX servers, and a 2 drive tape library with 15 slots?
Software must be inexpensive (Ok cheap), backup window large enough to allow backing the F85 up over the wire.
Thanks,
