I much prefer the Netbackup interface compared to TSM - we were
Netbackup and have now switched to Tivoli. The client offers a lot
more information and scope to manage all of your backups I feel
compared to the TSM one, and is a lot easier to understand and use. We
are currently using Netbackup 4.5GA on a Solaris box with the clients
deployed on Windows PC's.
