We have them for our hardware support but we did drop the software
support. It seemed like every time I had an issue they put it straight
to Veritas and then I solved the problem myself (with the help of this
group). They are very responsive and always follow up to make sure it is
fixed though.

I used Datalink from the ground up for a Veritas system install and
support. I never had a problem with them and their local engineer
assigned to our account was just plain brilliant. He even provided me
(NBU admin) with his personal cell, home and pager number if I ever
needed to get in touch. I would call him and bypass the first level
support. It worked great. Their second and third level support via phone
was also great. I would recommend them with high marks.

Just my 2 cents...

        We have gotten information from a company called Data Link in
which they are suggesting they can do our Netbackup support cheaper than
Veritas (Symantec).

        Does anyone have experience with using this company for support
and if so would you recommend them?
