Yes, we use it as a secondary backup as the service is provided
by the central Computing Service at my University. It seems to be
troublefree on the client end (the only bit I have had experience
with), although the client is not pretty...
We use Backup Exec as our main backup tool. It runs on an NT
server (less troublesome for me than on a NetWare server I am
sorry to say) and backs up both NetWare and NT servers with no
problem at all.

I can't help here I am afraid.
