Just FYI (nothing official), but I can say that in the limited testing I did with Legato over CIFS to the filer everything seemed to work just fine. I was able to back up and restore both UNIX- and NTFS-style files with no problems. The security and other metadata were fully preserved. Make sure you are doing the backups and restores from an NT admin account that maps to 'root' if you are working with files that have UNIX-style security.

The one problem I remember is the same one Michael Salmon mentioned: make sure you are accessing the filer as a domain administrator, not the local administrator (which is the default unless you specify "domain-name\administrator").

We are actually not having any problems. One of our prospective customers asked us for references but most of our customers are in the same boat we're in. We've never had to go to tape for recovery. Snapshot has always done the trick.

Of our customers who are running CIFS only, none are using Legato right now. I I was really looking for feedback as opposed the answer to a problem.

Thanks to all who have replied.

I just checked the test report and no restores were tried, just backups. I guess from your query that you are having problems, care to share them?
