[Veritas-bu] NetBackup with IBM Magstar or IBM 3590 drives

Not directly.

We use STK9940 and when I talk to StorageTek they see IBM 3590, STK9840 and 
STK9940 as a class for them self.
I am almost 100% sure that one of our StorageTek SE's has been talking 
about 3590 and NBU and it should work (almost as good as 9840/9940 he said 
with a smile on his face)

If you like 3590 I think the only other options you have is STK9840 and 
STK9940.
LTO would be a big downgrade as I see it.

STK9840/9940 work almost in any platform I know about.
