Re: [Veritas-bu] Is the veritas-bu list still alive?

Hello,

I work as a contractor and can report that traditional enterprise backup jobs are still strong. Though I am never just a backup administrator. Another thing to consider is that other backup products have been gaining because the cost of Netbackup was deemed pretty high. Also, I am not sure if Netbackup is the best product in the space any longer with EMCs offerings and hardware pairings, Data Domain, Avamar, etc...

I am thinking a couple of things may have happened.

1 First, the keeper of this may have moved on thus resulting in an obsolete and eventually unmonitored and closed off email distro list.

2 Secondary thoughts are companies may have drifted away from using backup software in general or the interest in having a dedicated person for backup has dropped considerably with VMware and cloud technologies such as AWS and Microsoft Azure making tape backup strategies an obsolete thought in those companies IT leadership minds.

I know I've been gone for a while, but I was surprised to see the
archives stopped in 2016.

Did something happen I don't know about?
