I've been configuring NBU for 2 years and just started working with
Omniback....now Data Protector. I gotta tell ya....I like Data Protector. I
has pretty much the same functions as NBU for considerably less money, I
really like that they charge by how many tape drives you use and are allowed
unlimited clients. You can do SSO although it's not called that, you can do
multiplexing and multistreaming although it's also not called that ;).
The only things I do not like about Data Protector is the GUI layout, I'm
very partial to NBU 4.5's GUI layout, it's much cleaner and easier to read.
I also do not like that you really do not have a view of what tape is loaded
in what drive in Data Protector. I haven't played with it yet but it appears
that vaulting is much better done in NBU as well, you can still do multiple
copies of your backups in Data Protector but its not as well done as it is
in NBU.
I think for small to mid sized setups Data Protector is the preferred
package, but personally I would still be very partial to NBU for any large
installation.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Omniback vrs NetBackup
I have a site where they want to update their backup environment.
Currently they are using Omniback 3.5 to either local drives or mid size STK
silos.
I want to get a case together to convince them to upgrade them to NBU 4.5
(Solaris (versions 6, 7 and 8), HP-UX 11i, NT4, W2K, RedHat Linux Advanced
Server).
Does Omniback 3.5 support connectivity to STK 9310 silos (using Library
Station)?
Does Omniback 3.5 have a similar product to SSO?
Does Omniback 3.5 support all the above platforms?
If Omniback 3.5 doesn't do all the above, do any of the later versions?
Thanks,
Andy Skates
