Hello Javier

This is not propaganda at all! 

One of last topics was a question about possible alternatives in reporting
solutions. There are still a lot of scripting based solutions out there, but
more and more administrators are not willing to spent a lot of time to
maintain them, or pay high bills just to find out how much more data was
backed up during the last quarter compared to the last one.  They are
looking for a powerful solution, which they can automate and will save a lot
of time.

It is a fact that backupVISUAL has more then 100 installations in Europe ?
growing daily??

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] command line reporting
Every time when a discussion about reporting solutions starts, always the
same two expensive management toys are listed. But there are some
alternatives on the market as well. If you look to Europe ? the de facto
standard for NetBackup reporting is backupVISUAL. (www.backupvisual.com).
The reason why backupVISUAL is so booming is very simple: It is a real tool
for administrators, it delivers very deep technical information about your
environment (including consolidation of your sites), it is very easy and
fast to install (ca. ½ hour), you can fully automate your reports for the
intranet or email (with the included BatchReporter), it includes more the
100 standard reports, There are no additional customizing or consulting
costs, you can create your own special reports just with SQL commands, and
many more. If you are looking for a real tool, not a management toy, you
should have a look over to Europe for backupVISUAL. 

Kind regards
