I'd recommend against doing another backup software on same machine or even the 
same environment.   The very nature of backup software guarantees it's going to 
be a cpu and memory hog and likely a network hog as well depending on how 
you're backing things up.

Additionally there is no way to have different backup software peacefully 
co-exist using the same storage resources.  NetBackup media servers will 
co-ordinate with each other and jobs will be handled in such a way by NetBackup 
so that a request to backup to a given tape drive won't suddenly abort 
(usually) due to another request.  No such guarantee can be had between two 
different backup software applications.   NetBackup will assume it controls the 
storage when you run its jobs and the other software will instead assume it 
controls the storage and they'll both be wrong.   You could setup different 
storage units for the two separate software packages but if you have that much 
in the way of resources it seems it would be much simpler to run two separate 
servers each with their own dedicated storage resources.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU coexistance with another backup software on same 
machine

Hi folks ,

I have some questions regarding NBU 7.1 on windowas platform ( 2008 server ) 
attached to tape library:

1. Is it recommended to use another backup software on the same mahine at the 
same time with NBU?

2. If I had to have bothe software machines what is the expected behaviour ( If 
any one have done this exercise and willing to share their experiance please )

3. If there is any recommended settings / best practices for such scenario?

Many thanks in advance!
