While I can't say there is any great "improvement" in regular jobs I can
attest to the fact that it made hooking our new celerra up much easier
than could have been done with 5.1.  We have however determined there is
a bug in 6.0mp2 with the gui device discovery wizard. It occasionaly
will not detect all the drives presented to the various servers when run
while NDMP hosts are added to the search. Command line runs work fine. A
little persistance with the gui will get them to appear. We were working
with Veritas on this and it has been bumped up stairs. They have also
improved the restore function in the gui making it easier to select
clients, not a big deal but one I liked.

        Just to add to this, v6 looks almost exactly the same as 5.1 !
        =20
        Is there really, any MAJOR changes to 6 over 5.1 to warrant a
real upgrade? I only backup Windows Servers, and some NT boxes, although
not for long.....
