What might be helpful is a review of the backup vendors that support Novell technologies (ie NSS, OES, SLES)

This is silly.

Waste of Time

This article was a complete waste of time. There's nothing of benefit here that a BE Admin wouldn't already know, or couldn't get from reading the BE manual.

Where are yours?

It seems that the two people who slammed this article have never bothered actually writing something themselves.

Shame on you.
