Recent email exchange with Arcada/Seagate (for those who dont know Arcada got bought by Seagate), revealed that they will relase an Arcada agent for Linux.FreeBSD only if enough peolpe ask for it. So if you need to backup your FreeBSD or Linux machines from NT using Arcada or you are planning a setup where you may need something like that, please send email to : Support@smg.seagate.com and let them know. They are very nice people and usually reply within 24 hours. They just need to be convinced that there is enough need for such a thing. Tell them, we'll happily live with beta releases if thats what they can do for now. It may only take them a recompile after all on one of these machine. I have even offered setting up a test machine for them to try and compile it on if they dont want the hassles of setting up a FreeBSD machine. Thanks. Atif Khan aak2@ra.msstate.edu
