Thanks.
I currently have VMWare setup with NBU6 installed - My only problem is I
cannot do much as the VMware physical box has no robot or tape drives, so a
little stuck - hence why I asked the question about major differences in the
2 versions.
 
Shame I cannot create a Virtual Robot / Tape Drive!

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 !
 
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.....

Regards

Simon
