Hi

Another variation is to install  vnc which doesn't send X11 traffic  across
the network.

It "displays" the X11 at the source then vnc client on the PC uses windows
to  paint the screens - also quicker for response times across a slow
network than X11.   I have found it to be the best way to improve all
remote display performance.

Its free and doesn't require any X11 terminal emulation on the PC

To get around  X11  or vnc forewall problems - tunnel it through SSH which
is a standard practise.
vnc & ssh are free.
Both ssh and vnc requires installation on unix  and PC client - vnc
installation is easily done and small

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.

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
