DIGITAL DELIVERS POLYCENTER NETWORKER SAVE AND RESTORE TO MACINTOSH USERS

POLYCENTER NetWorker Provides Macintosh Users With Significant Performance
and Productivity Gains

MAYNARD, Mass., February 1, 1996 -- Digital Equipment Corporation today
announced new Macintosh client support for POLYCENTER NetWorker Save and
Restore, Digital's implementation of Legato System's industry-leading
NetWorker product. POLYCENTER NetWorker Save and Restore Macintosh Client
Kit, Version 1.0, is the first network backup product for client/server
environments that empowers networked Macintosh users with the option to
backup or recover files or directories without administrator intervention.
Now, Macintosh users can benefit from significant gains in performance and
reduced storage management costs by investing in the most comprehensive
network storage management solution available.

"Digital's NetWorker is now meeting the increasing need for high-end robust
storage in Macintosh environments, in addition to the needs of users in a
broad range of platforms," said Peter George, Digital Equipment's director
for Storage Software. "NetWorker for the Macintosh environment is
unmatched in offering clients the highest-performing storage management
solution by enabling clients to completely consolidate their backup
strategy."

NetWorker for Macintosh Client Kit, Version 1.0

The NetWorker for Macintosh Client Kit, Version 1.0, offers high
performance at a low cost through a full range of features:

 *  consolidated backup strategy through the use of one single
    solution,

 *  maintenance of different versions of the same file without
    using excessive disk space,

 *  direct access to the server for each client using MacTCP, a
    faster alternative that out performs AppleTalk 10 to 1,

 *  parallelism which allows multiple data servers and other
    clients to send files to media simultaneously while the
    parallel restore feature allows multiple files to be
    recovered from media simultaneously,

 *  centralized storage in one autoloader, instead of many small
    servers,

 *  scheduled backup of Macintosh computers at predefined
    intervals to Mac OS Servers and MacTCP=AE,

 *  full, incremental and eleven levels of differential backup
    for up to 16 Macintosh computers, which can be backed up
    simultaneously to a single NetWorker server.
