Attached are the instructions to get a NetBackup client to work on Mac
OS 10.5 until Symantec comes out with a "supported" solution. 

Disclaimer:

As of 1/14/2008, Mac OS 10.5 isn't officially supported by Symantec for
NetBackup.    These instructions have been tested with a NBU 5.1 client
using a NBU 6.0 master/media server.   Northwestern Mutual makes no

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up Leopard clients

Guys,

   I don't think it's that difficult to gin up some plist files for the 
various Veritas components and convert things to use launchd.  I did it
to 
a G5 I've got in my office shortly after I loaded Leopard on it.  You 
should be able to copy a plist entry for a similar service (I might have

used something like telnet) and then substitute the proper arguments. 
>>From what I remeber, you use lauchctl to load/start the new daemons. 
Works just fine after that.
