IPCS w/Novell 4.1 Backup on 3570

["Carole Houghton" <mchcah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We bought a 3570 Tape Drive last year with the idea that once we got 
Novell running on the IPCS it would be a simple matter to backup the 
Network on the same tape drive during the middle of the night.  (Our 
marketing rep helped with this idea!!)   After crashing the server 
during the day using Novell's SBACKUP to the 3570, (per 
instructions in IBM's book) then finding out that we cannot use 
library features of the 3570  with the IPCS and SBACKUP needs to run 
interactively - I am wondering how people do backup this 
configuration!  We do not have a night operator and labor 
seems to be in short supply in Minnesota.  Needless to say, I am not 
a happy camper. Are there products out there that work with the 3570 
that will accomplish this goal?  Backing up the server as one big 
glob of space is useless.  Ever hear a user ask you to replace ALL of 
the files on the server?  The IPCS is a great idea for small/medium 
size shops, but backing up should be able to be accomplished at the 
same time you do the other backups.  What do others do?
Thanks - Carole Houghton
