I believe I alluded to this problem in my reply.

I'm not aware of any occasions where you are *forced* to use the BEQ protocol., though I'll admit that in many cases it is the natural protocol to use. In the example you give, surely the appropriate solution would be to write a shell script and not bother with the 3rd party agent. Admittedly what you save on software you will probably spend on disks to hold the backups before they go to tape.
