 Client, server or both? At work we're using Solaris as the servers
running both Legato Networker and Veritas and I have my linux boxen
running linux versions of the clients for both products with no problems.
(We also do HP-UX and WinX.)

 We've been running Legato for quite some time and have had no end
of problems with the indexes corrupting themselves at the slightest
provocation. We're getting ready to switch over fully to Veritas as it
behaves much better (for our environment anyway). We can also plug our
NetApp RAID's directly inline with the backup servers' SCSI chain and
back them over that instead of through an ethernet proxy server (pain
in the butt and can be slow).

 Both Legato and Veritas are expensive, but you did say "any price". :-)

 I can give you the sales guy for this region at Veritas if you like.
