Backup products - TapeWare. Please tell experience

I've been asked to look at TapeWare for NetWare.

Has anyone here used it?  If so, what's your experience been?  Good,
bad, indifferent?  What about technical support, if you needed it?

Thanks,

Pieter

I've used Tapeware since I upgraded to 4.1 about 8 months ago.  I
backup across the wire onto a workstation.  I have had good luck with
it.  I think it is easy to use, backs up nds & all name spaces pretty
well, we use dos,mac,OS2 name spaces on the volumes it backs up.  One
complaint is it seems slower than some of my previous bacup softwares
that I have used.  I have had pretty good luck with their tech support
also.  One question about it though would be the solidity of the
company.  They have gone through a lot of changeovers in the last
year.  I would be curious to know how it goes for you if you decide to
use it or if you choose another system please let me know, or if you
have any other specific questions about my experiance let me know

I have been contemplating whether I should stick with them or not.
They have treated me well it just seems that they are not very popular
around here and I get nervous about lack of support in the future.

cheers.
