subject: Backups: traditional or image?

From: Richard B. 

I'm looking for new backup software as my vendor was bought out by another
company and I'm uncertain of their future.

Anyhow I need to backup my main file server and my Domino server, with
bare-metal restore capability.  With something like Veritas I would have to
get an agent (I know Geo!), but I was wondering if something like:

would be worth considering?  Looks like they offer tape support now.

We are actually going to imagining software for our workstation backups now
and I thought I should rethink what I'm doing on the servers.

IOW, what would be the advantages/disadvantages of using imaging vs.
traditional tape backup software?

FYI the new tape driver is LTO2.

TIA,

- Richard
