G,

You have to amuse us and explain why you and your company think
disk based backups are an inefficient solution.  Why do you have
that conclusion?  Is it inefficient for your company or in general?

I have implemented disk based backups from 3.4 on up.  Version 4.5
with vault allowed for some management of the disk storage unit
and now staging with 5.x has worked as advertised allowing
for greater flexibility in a backup architectures.


As far as the ATABoy, I have no experience.  I have used several
other SATA RAID solutions with NetBackup.  All have worked,
but the strength of the underlying storage hardware has varied which
does effect performance down the line.

Thanks
