     One of the things I always find funny about Seagate's OpenFile product 
s
that it's not theirs..  They actually licence it from another backup company,
Cheyenne, who writes ARCserve.  If you are looking at backing up clients and
want a more robust version on backup.  I would choose either Cheyenne's
ARCserve for WinNT Single Server+ or , Seagate's
Single Server product.  I would say the Enterprise product is over kill for
backing up just clients.  BTW, I work for Cheyenne as Product Support/
Consulting.
