We use Aptare Storage Console for our monitoring.  It has a good
single-screen view of what's going on, but we still have operations
using the NetBackup GUI to handle job resubmissions, etc.  NOM in NBU 6
is supposed to be able to give you a similar view plus some
interactivity with the environments, too.
