Why not have HP come in or better yet, have them set up a lab/demo environment 
up for you? Explain to them that your company has gone through an acquisition 
and that you now own/manage/maintain two infrastructures and that your goal is 
to consolidate down to a single platform. My guess is that they will do 
whatever they can to help you to understand why Omniback is superior to NBU. 
This will put you in a better - not ideal, but better position to evaluate the 
HP solution in light of your organization's requirements.

By going through this process, your recommendation, whatever it is, should be 
much more credible to your management team, than it would be otherwise.

Can you quantify this a bit?  I agree in principle, now I need to sell
where NB crushes HP like the niche product it is.

Run from Omniback.....run fast and hard. Netbackup is your solution.
Shoot, I'd rather use TAR and DD rather than Omniback.

What little experience I've had with Omniback tells me that it's not as
fully featured as NetBackup, but that it works really well for remote
sites (one of the reason's NetBackup came up with Pure Disk - to better
compete in that area).

I'd suggest reading up as much as you can on Omniback, so you can
explain the differences, and tell give them specifics about how
NetBackup is better.

Switching out a backup solutions is never a simple task either.  Believe
me, I've done it a few times.
