Aleksandr,

Symantec develop Netbackup on Solaris and Windows, all the others are a
port, atleast that's what I've been told. There's a lot of big customers
running Netbackup on Solaris with 1500+ clients and it seems to do OK. I
have not heard of any other platforms running so many clients but someone on
the group may correct me.

I personally have been using Netbackup on Solaris since version 4.5 and have
found no issues with the OS. I do also run windows boxes and have been a
little disappointed in having to do reboots for certain changes and issues
etc.

I also recommend using Solaris 10 as I've found it performs a lot better
(approx 80%) due to the larger shmem allocations etc.

Regards,

Dominik

Subject: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup on Linux (RH4) vs. NetBackup on Solaris

Dear NetBackup Experts!

I am planning upgrade of NetBackup 3.4. Which platform should I choose?

Solaris has been a primary platform for NetBackup for many years. I
think there should be less bugs, better support and much wider user
base for Solaris.


Is this indeed the case?


Thank you,
Aleksandr
