I recommend bpadm over a 56K link. You can do about 90% of the Java
GUI tasks from bpadm.

My tip for other folks:

If you have a Solaris master with a cable/DSL setup from home, then
try this: run an Xserver/client like PC-Ware, eXceed, or Reflection X
to create a CDE login session on your master. Export your display to
your PC's IP:0. Then when you run jnbSA it's on your master, only the
display goes across the WAN.

Firewalls or VPNs may ruin this scheme, but figuring it out is left
as an exercise for you the SA. When I NEED jnbSA it makes it
tolerable. Running X over a WAN link is painful if not pathetic.

Similar results could be accomplished via Citrix Metaframe if you
have it.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Restore jbpSA, Does anyone use this?



Howdy,

We just got Veritas NetBackup DataCenter 4.5.
I was wondering does anyone use the jbpSA gui
to restore? Is it really this slow?
Mine's a dog.... Everytime you want to move to
the directory structure it starts loading data.

I spent about 20 minutes just trying to browse
a little.

Running the bprestore from the command line
took a few seconds.
Is there a way to improve the gui performance?

Thanks....James
