Hi,
Just a comment, I totally agree on the rest :)
quote:
I'll end up backing up my Legato NSR "master" server with my NBU system
and vice versa for best of both worlds.
Why ? NetWorker have a great system on recovering the master server, nwrecover,
it totally rocks :) - it sends u an email with information on where your media
database is located, it's not like NBU where u use the same 2 tapes over and
over and over again, but random tape from your Default pool (protects against
SPOF in media), you type the information in on CLI, your media database gets
retrieved, then u run a index check and your client indexes gets retrieved - I
have used it several times, both disaster, and more for migration purpose - and
best of all, it's online backup !! NBU just realised it would be usefull so now
we have it in NBU6
Regards
Christian
Ps: Merge the 2 products and we will either have a very lousy product or the
8th wonder of the Backup World

Emne: [Veritas-bu] Legato vs NBu
I've been using NBU 5.1 and below for several years. I'm brand new to
NW.
Just had a training class in NW 7.3. My shop will need to use both for
several reasons.
>From what I seen thus far -- and I'll try not to be an NBU bigot -- is
that the NBU interface is one package and easier to use. NW 7.3
interfaces are separate tools and are clumsy. Perhaps I'll be less
clumsy with time.
NBU appears to be more master server centric and NW more client focused.
One really great thing about NW 7.3 is the ability to set a complete
exclude list at the "master" server as opposed to each client. I don't
know how many registries I've had to change by hand or at the client
options on the master.
Both products indeed have +/- are each have weakness/strengths. I
believe cost is relatively the same. NW licensing is cumbersome and can
lead to confusion but locks licenses to node. Veritas tracks licenses
but holds you to an honor system. NBU you need to track each client
somehow on a spreadsheet as not to go over your legal limit.
I'll end up backing up my Legato NSR "master" server with my NBU system
and vice versa for best of both worlds.
AS long as each product helps to get lost files and systems back, I'm
happy as an IT, Business Continuity/DR guy.
