I've tried under FreeBSD 4.10, and that doesn't get close to working. FreeBSD 5's emulation is much better. I don't actually want to back up the FreeBSD machine itself- so I don't really care which client is on there. I have the feeling it would not be possible to have the Linux Masted/Media and the FreeBSD client co-existing on the same machine anyway, as the components share binaries and libraries that have to be at the same location on the file system. I suppose one way round this would be to use VmWare for Linux on the FreeBSD host, and run NetBackup under this in a "real" Linux environment, but that seems very messy.
