  Would you know the name of this utility? I'm running ARCserve 6.01 (wuth HP 
tape jukebox on separate controller on server) and supposably I can dump 
everything to tape. Are you telling me this tape unit is NOT backing up 
everything I thought it was? What could be missing?

  Ah. How are accounts transferred from a 3.12 to a 4.1 server when doing an 
upgrade? What will I have to do to get all my user information moved?

  I've done that too. Worked fine for that chore. Thanx!
