Backing up from 2 nodes on a WinNT 4.0 n/w

[Bazza1]

Our primary network runs WinNT 4.0. We had a small separate n/w running Win2000 Server that we have dispensed with, and we have re-assigned the server from that as a Backup Domain Controller on our WinNT n/w (it now runs WinNT 4.0).

This was mainly to resolve some disk capacity problems. I have moved around half our total data on to the new BDC, and would like to backup this up via the tape drive on the PDC. However, when I try to do this with ArcServe 6.61 I get a messaage "not supported in this version".

Questions:

1. Is there a way of doing what I want with V6.61?
2. We have a copy of Arcserve 2000 that we used when running the Win2k n/w. Will this do it, and if so, will it run on Win NT 4.0?

Thanks for any help you can give

1. For both ARCserveIT 6.61 and ARCserve 2000 : if you have a license for a 'Workgroup Edition - WE' you cannot backup over the network. This version is designed for local single server backup.
2. ARCserve 2000 runs fine on Windows NT 4.0 but you have to use a Advanced Edition - AE to backup over the network
