Ditto on that. I came to the conclusion that it's just not there yet,
at least not with the 5.x releases of NetBackup. I ran into more
problems than I care to take the time to list here. One of the main
issues I had was that there's a number of NetBackup utilities that
aren't VxSS aware, which means you need to basically wrap those
utilities with a script to authenticate prior to using them. It just
gets pretty complicated real fast.
