Hey all,

I work in a data center that's, for the last 5 years, had a backup
"strategy" of attaching a tape drive to every server and running fulls
nightly.  We now have hundreds of servers (both Wintel and Sun Solaris) and
have a full time operations staff to do, among other things, managing
tapes.  Recently, upper management had decided to spring for a tape library
(ST SL500) to backup everything.  We have been using Networker to backup our
Sun servers and Backup Exec to backup our Wintel servers.  We are now asking
ourselves "do we want to stick with Networker to backup everyone or go with
another backup software solution?"  As you can probably guess, the "other
backup solution" is NetBackup 6.0.  Most of our talent is with Networker but
we've had a lot of frustrations with the software as well (as I'm sure most
of you have had as well).  My question for you is this:

Given the opportunity, would you migrate away from Networker to NetBackup?
Or would I be just be trading one headache for another?

Thanks
--Brett
