Hello Everyone,

Is there any Netbackup Datacenter 3.2 or 3.4 users that are using IBM
3590 Magstar tape in a IBM 3494 tape library as their main tape backup
hardware.  If so, I have a couple of questions for you:

1) What is your media/master server platform=3F
2) How are the drives connect to your backup servers=3F SCSII=3F
3) Are you using 3590 B1A drives or E1A drives=3F
4) How is the performance and reliability with these drives with
Netbackup=3F
5) Have you had any issues with Veritas or IBM support when problems
occur with this type of hardware configuration=3F


Thanks!
