Grrrr... Now Veritas is saying 9.0 will not support ANY MDAC version besides 2.6 sp2. Not even SQL 2000 SP3 (which installs MDAC 2.7 sp1). Very dissappointing . We are looking for another product. Jonathan

I am quite amazed at the news that Veritas requires SQL 2000 MSDE be installed with its new product, Backup Exec 9.0. How can they justify this huge leap? I'm sure that this makes the product much more functional, but it is not an option - it is required! What about a server already running SQL 6.5 or 7.0? What about a server running older versions of Oracle? What about servers running applications that require older versions of MDAC? What about the added overhead involved in running the SQL 2000 Engine? Does this bother anyone else? Jonathan
