is the home page for them.

The “Downloads” link on the left contains the links to where you get it all. Only support for SLES 10 at the moment. Expect RHEL5 support in a later beta.

Can’t get Windows Server Backup to see that my backup disk is on-line. I have told it that it is to use the disk as a backup drive. But still won’t recognise it. Now testing to see if a reboot will fix it.
No good. The drive now has a different GUID. “wbadmin restore catalog” command doesn’t work, always gives error about -backupTarget: setting missing, despite its being there. Bug.
Can’t file a bug report as there’s no icon on the desktop which is how we’re supposed to do it. You would have thought they might have seen this one! Sad
I’ll ask JL about filing bug reports.
