The biggest disadvantages to rolling out your own scheduler is that you 
are now responsible for making sure that there are tape drives 
available, and you must handle any and all failure scenarios.  If you 
let NetBackup worry about failures, retries happen automatically based 
on a scheduled that you've already defined.

We've done some of our scheduling with NetBackup and with other backup 
products, and frankly, it just sucks.
