Thank you for all the replies. It was wonderful hearing from people I 
haven't talked to in years. The general consensus seems to be that many of 
the people asking questions were dropped into NetBackup because whoever was 
doing it before had left the company. This coincidentally was the way I got 
started 8 years ago, (version 1.7 for those who care). Never the less, it 
still doesn't answer the question, ?Why don't you look in the manual 
first??. Some have said that
The manuals leave a lot to be desired. While all manuals are not perfect, I 
think Veritas's are some of the best. If you have the manuals on CD then you 
can even search for words that may help. Some of the questions could be 
answered if they just looked at the table of contents in the manuals. One 
person suggested that maybe I should just answer the questions instead of 
complaining. Those of you who have been on the list for a while know that I 
do answer the questions, when I have a system that I can log into and test 
the answer before replying.
One confession, I subscribe to more than just this list, and the UNIX and 
Sun ones ask even dumber questions. So I may have taken out some of my 
frustration on this list that really should have applied to other lists. I 
promise I won't do anymore complaining, it was just one of those days. Thank 
you all for your patience, and in most cases, understanding.
