Subject: [Veritas-bu] Legato vs. NetBackup
I've see this issue come up before: ""Our Backup environment doesn't work very
well!!"", and for some reason they think software is the answer; ignoring the
fact that the new software also gets new hardware, a newly engineered strategy,
and a fresh new install to go with it.
NetBackup will also run a lot better if you do the same upgrades, and clean up
all the old crap you don't need any more.
When I first started working with NetBackup, it was because or vendor for
Legato had messed up our agreement and backed out of the deal. I'm glad that
it happened which allowed me to now be the experienced NetBackup Administrator
I am today. I don't think legato would have given me the opportunities to do
many of the wonderful things I've done with NetBackup. But that's more of an
emotional reason then a factual one.
Just make sure your manager understands that you have to demo Legato with a
similar load and infrastructure you NetBackup environment is currently on, or
it's not a fair comparison.
