Hi,
Before I had support through a reseller here in Denamrk, called ProAct systems,
that worked beatifully - the few times I had to speak with support, I talked to
Cedric Junker and got the answers i needed fast
Today I talk to support with Symantec, primarily UK, they get the problems
solved, but sometimes it takes a while to get over the
who-are-u-and-what-kind-of-system-do-u-have. When u get through there telefone
queue and irritating music and a engineer gets assigned to a case, then a
solution quickly comes :)
Conclussion - same-same, minor differences when the problems u almost everytime
opens, is bugs and things that dosen't work as they are supposed to :)
Best regards
Christian

Hi,
I jused to administrate a 350+ client Legato setup, and for the past 2?
years I have been part of administrate a 1200+ client NBU setup - my experience
is :
Legato :
+ : much better at handling backup to disk, can backup multiple
instances on MS-SQL server with a single command, much better security on who
can administrate AND from where, better debuging of why a client isn't running
(savegrp -Envvvc), can handle tape write errors (NBU restarts at last
checkpoint or restart entire job if database backup - thats BAD)
- : uses alot of ports, 7937-9936 + 10000-30000, not the best report
utility, though mminfo can do pretty much everything u need, poor silo handling
(need to import media when u recreate a Silo (haven't seen the new 7.3 which
should be able to edit a silo), if a group is running u cant restart another
client in that group
NBU :
+ : max streams pr. tapedevice, Java GUI is OK, good silo handling, can
upgrade (unix) clients from CLI at master
- : lousy at writing to disk, bad catalog (use a DB instead, like
NBU6.0), when moving a client fra from group/policy to another u get a full
backup at next run, exclude/include list is located client side,
Thats just top of my head on a Monday morning - I would like to get
comments other suggestions/differnces between the two products :)
Best regards
Christian Sonder

Emne: Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU vs Legato
I too would like to see this and/or also a comparison to CommVault.
I am new to NBU after working with Legato for 6 years and at the moment,
I find Legato to be much easier to administrate with much less hardware
and it performed better. However, the latest version of Legato (7.3) is
just as buggy as 6.0. I think both companies pushed out the latest
release way too early but felt compelled to do so with the competitive
market pressures.
One thing I like with NBU is the out of the box reporting features.
Legato is getting better (and there are free utilities out there that
help) but they still have a way to go.
Thanks!
PM.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU vs Legato
Does any one have NBU vs Legato comparison docs? I have worked with NBU
in the past but not with Legato. At my new pos. we need to upgrade the
NBU env. I just want good reasons why we should not go with Legato but
upgrade the current version of NBU.
This is on a Solaris env.
Thanks in advance.
