Hey Randy
 
Our environment is very similar. For the Main Datacenter we have 1 Master 10 media/SAN Media servers.
We currently have around 18 drives in a StorageTek L700. The question I'm having some issues with is that
we back up Oracle, SQL DB's,  HP-UX, Red hat and Window systems. We have a ton of client servers and I heard
that Data Protector doesn't use Policies for all clients (example: Window_File_System policy) but that you must assign each system
to it's own backup schedule. I also heard that it doesn't work well with systems outside of HP systems. Is this valid information?
Please let me know your thoughts guys.
 
Todd

Todd,

 

What’s the size of your configuration?  The guys (like we’re all old drinking buddies in here) had to come to my rescue a couple of months ago when I was making the same comparison.  HP Data Protector turned out to be fairly comparable in a network half the size of my current setup.   I have a single master and a dozen or so media/SAN Media servers sharing one library with 24 drives and I got the impression that Netbackup was a better choice for me.

Gurus

 

I need to speak to HP about their Data Protector Solution. If anyone has experience or knowledge

of HP Storage Protector can you please send me some information regarding how you think it is

"not as good" as Netbackup current version. I want to see how they respond to the comparisons.

If anyone has information on their product please forward your opinion.

 

thanks
