            SAN media Servers

With NetWorker you can share tapes between Storage Nodes (Media Servers).
you can't with NB. This will reduce the number of tapes you use.
Also, NW does not delete data from the media database until the tape is
actually relabelled, unlike NB which deletes it when it is recyclable.

            Shared tape drives

Pretty much the same, except NW can do Dynamin Drive Sharing (SSO) with
NDMP servers

            Offsite copies (vault)

Cloning, which also de-multiplexes the data.

            NDMP backups

Legato, via acquisition, invented NDMP. it is very fast. What more do you
want?
            

I know both products will do all the above, but I'm curious how smoothly
they work.



Legato's pricing is better than netbackup, but I'm comfortable with
netbackup.  Any links or personal experiences would be helpful.

Look at things like management. Mostly the GUI in NB is better, but NW now
comes with NetWorker Management Consolke for free. This is the equivalent to
GDM. It's a much better GUI and comes with reporting.

Also, if you have file systems with lots of small files, NB has a large
overhead, so NW is much quicker on backing thos eup (Although still not
lightning fast). I'd suggest looking at SnapShot technologies for those.


Thanks
