Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Omniback vs Netbackup

No comparison info as I've never touched Omniback, but what it will probably boil down to is real dollars. If you can show NBU to be a cheaper solution to install/run/manage, then that is what upper management will want to hear. The higher ups typically don't care about what product is installed, only what it does for the bottom line.

For instance, if Omniback has to be installed on HP servers with HP-UX, that may be more expensive than a comparable Sun/Solaris combo for NBU.

Good luck!

Subject	[Veritas-bu] HP Omniback vs Netbackup

My company is being bought by another and they're currently an Omniback shop. I may have to defend Netbackup's use at this location and, perhaps, even promote it as a replacement for Omniback in their other locations. I'm looking for any comparison information you may have.
