I have thought pretty seriously about using subversion
(http://subversion.tigris.org/) to manage the configuration files.
Right now, I use RCS. Another possibility is cfengine
(http://www.cfengine.org/). With the later, configurations are tightly
controlled. When unauthorized change happens, it is undone--however, if you are
trying to debug something, it can bite you
in the butt.
Since most of my backups are qtree based, I've scripted the policy part and run
that to be sure I have a
policy for each qtree I want to back up. Our non-UNIX admin can run the scripts
as required to create new
policies. This works pretty well (not perfect).

It's not a matter of how many hands, it's a matter of how well they
communicate. It also helps if you can have each person specialize in one item,
such as making policy changes, trouble shooting, installing new clients, doing
restores, etc. Since some of these tasks can get boring it might be wise to
alternate them on some regular basis. Just my £.02 worth.

As a rule, we have 2 doing the work, myself as overall help / support and a 4th
as a backup!
Is that too many hands?

I sure hope so, this would be an excellent addition to an MP. I wouldn't need
to keep a manual change_log.

We have too many hands in the pot for our NetBackup environment. We discover
changes and everyone in the group says "not me". Is there any good security
product out there that can track NetBackup? Specifically versions 5.x and 6.x
with Solaris9/AIX5 master servers and Solaris/AIX/W2K/W2K3 media servers.
