We get around 4% failures, and that is only due to continuing focus on
backups.  The product is not at fault though, more our infrastructure as
a whole (i.e. networks and firewalls) and hetrogeneous server estate.

For me it depends on the site. And at the moment, on the netbackup
version.
 
At my small sites, backing up 3-5 clients, we get 100% success 80-90% of
nights. On the nights that we see failures, it's usually one stream that
fails, not a whole server. These are fairly static sites.
 
At my "large" site, with about 30 clients, I get a failure or two most
night - but this is mostly environmental rather than NB itself. It's
machines that have been moved, changed or disconnected. But of those 30
machines, many are secondary machines, development servers or
workstations - basically, subject to a reasonably large amount of
change.
 
And I have to say that 5.1mp2+ is a lot more reliable than 6.0mp?,
especially when it comes to the scheduler.
 
Regards,
    T.

All,

Do you usually have a 100% success every backup session? If not what is
a typical success rate?
