We have been using Aptare since 2004.  We have been quite pleased with it. 
 It give much more information than the
Advanced Reporter product. (We will be validating NOM as we migrage to 
Netbackup 6.0.  So the jury is out on that
for now.

 It works in real-time by the use of agents that run on the master 
server(s) that feed
data about the backups, tapes, storage units, etc to a portal that stores 
data in an Oracle database.  The GUI
provides an interface to the database for graphical display of 
information.  Aptare supplies SQL scripts that can
create text reports that can be e-mailed to whomever.  We use it on a 
daily bases to creagte reports we use
for SOX reporting.

[Veritas-bu] Has anybody used Aptare?






We're looking at possibly purchasing Aptare and are wondering if anybody
has used it before. It supposedly pulls data "real-time" from the
environment, and I'm curious as to how it accomplishes this.

Currently we have Bocada (http://www.bocada.com/index.php), a base
install and haven't really started going into it and actually
customizing the application to suit our needs.

Any input on Aptare would be appreciated. Thanks!

Jason
