The module has been released although I haven't gotten it to work yet. The installation is pain free at least and the server can at least probe the filer although it report 0 disks. As the license hasn't arrived yet and we are at present between support contracts I haven't complained as yet. As you might expect the documentation was minimal, but hey if it was easy then anybody could do it ;^).

I guess this is a step in the right direction, and since I'd love to move this way can we ask you to keep good notes and let us know what you have to do to make it work?
I'm personally running Solstice Backup 5.1 (SUN OEM version) on my backup servers, and my Toasters are running DOT 5.2.1 right now, so I realize I'll have to upgrade both sides to make this work, though I'm hoping that I can get away with only upgrading the toasters.
Good luck with your testing!
