TechNote 274544 provides ideas to reduce the burden on the NBU 5.1 software in 
large environments.  Since our upgrade 9 weeks ago, we have been bouncing NBU 
almost daily due to hung backups and we are a large 24x7 environment and have 
seen limited improvements after 9 weeks of an open case with Veritas - and then 
seeing this TechNote.  I find it ironic that the re-branding of 5.1 to 
Enterprise Server and a technote that says not to stress BPSCHED in Enterprise 
Server environments can occur, so I'd like to see if I'm alone here.

We have had several issues upgrading to NBU 5.1 MP1 and now MP2 where we are 
unable to submit many backups (queued or active) at once.  The recent TechNote 
274544 fits our account perfectly and I am wondering if any other large NBU 
shops are experiencing similar issues.  I have a hard time believing this 
TechNote was generated just because of us.  Veritas shows no desire to address 
this other than to wait until release 6.x and I could use some friends that 
will either state that they have an issue or help me push a fix through.

Veritas backline also stated that they won't support us backing off of 5.1 MP1 
to 4.5 FP7 where we had a stable environment.  They test MP2 to MP1 uninstalls, 
but when you upgrade from release 4 to release 5, they don't test this and 
there are some inherent undocumented catalog changes that could mess us up and 
not be able to recover a 5.1 backup to a 4.5 restore.  They only want to fix 
and go forward.  We had many MP2 binaries prior to them being released and then 
moved to MP2 and we still can't get through a night if we submit all of our 
backups.

We have exercised every recommendation in this technote and remain unsuccessful.

I need some of my friends to contact me with similar issues to get this fixed 
if we are to fix and go forward.  We need to push Veritas on this issue as a 
group of large Enterprise Server companies.
