We have an HP Autoloader, I thought of doing that actually, and I think I might :)
I'll let it run through the weekend and make a decision on Monday. The autoloader is hooked up to a windows box running the scourge of my life (Backup exec 9 for windows) and I didn't know how to interface it easily to the data without installing an agent on the client running the ini which I thought would be just as painfully slow! The LV is exported through iet and is formatted NTFS.

Suggestions welcome :)

Ps. My solution aint so sexy, it involves a non fault tolerant interim period so I am not pleased to say the least!
