Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Choice of platform for Master Server
I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my
request for information. The responses have helped
convince us to go with a Solaris master server.
This is what I was most comfortable with,
and we now know that we will not be giving up
anything significant by making this choice.
I am very pleased to know that there is such a knowledgeable
and helpful group who are willing to help a new-comer to
the world of Veritas backups.
Thanks,
Mark
