Maynard Problems

We have been staunch Maynard supporters for years but now have
encountered a problem which is making us considering switching brands
of tape backup software.

What's happening is that the Maynard backup (it's coupled to a 2200HS
2.2GB drive) bombs if the number of subdirectories exceeds a certain
number (somewhere around 1,100).  This is a problem with our mail
server, where each user has a separate subdirectory and the number of
same is presently 1,300.  Needless to say, this is a fairly crucial
backup and we need tape software that can handle it.  Maynard has
shipped us new versions of software and then finally admitted they
don't have an answer.  We have submitted an engineering report to them
but that could take months.

Anyone else encountering this problem with Maynard?  Does the software
you use have this problem?  All comments appreciated.
