[BBLISA] dump/restore vs Legato Networker

[Scott Ehrlich]

I have a handful of Win XP workstations and a RHEL5 Server acting as a domain 
controller and central user file server for user's files.

There are many options for backing up the data on the server, but of all 
available options, a few people at work swear by dump/restore, which is native, 
where legato costs money.   I'm also perfectly happy using Win XP's native 
backup utility.

I know I've visited this before, but for most reliability, and some cost 
factors, and considering I'm only looking at one Linux server and a handful of 
Windows workstations, and a tape backup unit that will be physically connected 
to the server via a SCSI card, dump/restore or Legato, and why for either case?

Thanks.
