It is called NovaNet V8 and it is CRAP!
Basic review at
http://www.woa.com.au/linux/reports/backup/linuxbackup.html or bore
down from the URL below.

Everything else I've tried manages to find my scsi DAT tape, but all
this package did was install a very windows looking folder with a few
icons and zilch else. Considering it was a bog standard off the cd
redhat system, that has to be a real cop out. Perhaps by V9 they will
have actually made it work under Linux.


Anthony - I have been giving it hints that it is time it went home,
but it is still sitting here. I think it is trying to claim it is not
related to the Luggage. So, since it is too lazy to walk back, I'm
sending it by Australia Post - that'll learn it {:-).

I'd be happy to fiddle with that other eval CD if there is one spare.
