Yeah, I don’t remember that slide in the original sales pitch.
It’s like buying a car and the dealership locks the hood and only their
mechanic has the key and the wiper fluid has run low. I can’t justify this
cost to my Management. I’m having trouble believing it myself.

I find it odd that in an old NBU 5.0 article with the same problem
as you stated, that veritas (at the time !) suggested the same thing....
Note:
If
you are using NetBackup Vault and plan to decommission a media server, it is
recommended that you contact VERITAS Consulting for help with this task.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Server Retirement in 6.0
Windows across the board, 6.0 MP1, and I want to retire 3
media servers. Sounds easy enough, right? According to the
documentation, and verified by Symantec Technical Support, because I am using
NetBackup Vault, I need to avail myself with the services of a Symantec
Consultant to do this for me. That's all I got from them.
My boss is already having me
compare other backup products because of the maintenance check we write every
year for NetBackup. Now I have to go to him and say, "I know you're
tired of paying Symantec all that money and I know you thought we were going to
cut cost by getting rid of 3 of our media servers but guess what? We have
to pay Symantec to come over and turn them off for us."
It can't be that difficult, can
it? Can someone point me to some documentation, blogs, guidelines, NBU
gypsy tarot reader who might guide me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Randy
