If that's true, you might want to share that information with the Veritas
customer service team that handles pre-sales calls. When I saw that the
Jaz 2gb SCSI drive has "file system support,"
- at http://support.veritas.com/menu_ddPr...BEDSKTPPRO.htm - I called
Veritas to see if this meant that I wouldn't be able to use the Jaz with
Backup Exec Desktop Pro. The customer service staffer told me that he has
a Jaz drive at home, and that Backup Exec works with it flawlessly.

I wouldn't have purchased Backup Exec if I had been told that it isn't supported.
Fortunately, it seems to be working well so far.

I did find the manual online. However, I didn't find the answer to my question:
in creating the Disaster Recovery set, what do I do about the difference
between the files on the original NT disks and the patch level files? Do
I use the original NT disks and then apply the patch after the restore is
complete? Or is there a way of feeding in the patched CAB files while the
Disaster Recovery disks are created?
