Hi,

We are trying to plan a better doc set for NetWorker and would like your
opinion. Assume that you are new to the NetWorker product but are now
responsible for its successful implementation. Would you open the NetWorker
Admin Guide (pdf or printed) and read a conceptual overview? Suppose the
overview explained, without going into much detail, how the features in
this product could be used to help you achieve your goals, i.e., implement
a backup and recover solution across your enterprise. Additionally, the
overview explained how, again without going into much detail, you could
optimize your backup and recovery operations. Is this the sort of thing
that would be useful to a NetWorker Administrator. Is it something that an
Administrator might read or is it a safer bet to assume that Administrators
are only going to read the docs if they're in a jam. Thanks for any help on
this!

Yeah, I would read it. Even as an experienced Networker admin finding a
clear and easy to understand explanation of Networker would be helpful
to read so that I could then pass that on to other system admins on the
team. It's a lost skill explaining complex environments in easy to
understand terms and anything that helps you do that is a valuable asset.
