I am talking about enterprise vault add on for netbackup. It has been
around for a few years now. Its not well meshed with netbackup (yet).

I'm sorry Greg, but I'm still not 100% clear which "vault" product you
are talking about in your complaints that duplication from VTL --> real
tape isn't possible.

Can you confirm that you're talking about "Enterprise Vault", the
relatively new-to-NetBackup Exchange-specific product, only runs on
windows, etc?

As more and more "EV" users start posting to this group, we're going to
have lots of confusing conversations like this... :-(

thanks
