is not portable across servers. Thus a Sun server
cannot read an VxFS file system on an HP server.
We cannot, therefore, backup a SAN shadow-image
of a Veritas Vol

same formats across *nix versions Btw, I haven't implemented
Heterogenous implementations on a SAN, but am just suggesting an
alternate... Let
