Not true. I am using Backup Exec (8.0) to backup my Filer and it works fine. Installing an agent on an NT server would allow the backup to go significantly faster, however. Backing up over 100 Mbps LAN:

Backup of Filer: 189 MB/minute Backup of Exchange server w/ agent: 332.7 MB/minute (local disks) Backup of SQL server w/ agent: 311.2 MB/minute (local disks)
