SLPs can essentially mimic all the functionality of vault without the nice 
reports that vault can generate. Though in order to use them, you have to have 
"intelligent" hardware (VTLs, AdvancedDisk, Tape Libraries, etc.) instead of 
"dumb" hardware (BasicDisk).

You can pretty much craft the SLP to stage to disk, destage from disk, 
duplicate to disk or tape, etc. all from a single SLP and apply it to multiple 
policies. Kind of nice really, but disappointing that in order to use this 
feature you pretty much have to buy expensive hardware or add-on products.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Storage Lifecycle Policies

I've been trying to play with a few of the newer features in 6.5 and was 
looking at storage lifecycle policies.

I've been playing with a test bed of 2 RHEL 4 with netbackup 6.5.2

1)  Has anyone see the error "Intermittent connectivity lost with server.  
Please..." with creating said lifecycle policies?

2) Assuming I can ever get he ability to create them how does this feature 
compare with say Vault?  Just to give you some background the plan would be to 
use VTLs on site and have the images duplicate to a remote facility over our 
SAN's WDM connection.
