I would say stick with NetWorker. Then you can restore your old sun
backups easily.

But remember, if you want it to work, use 7.2.2. don't be tempted to
'upgrade' to 7.3

Hey all,

I work in a data center that's, for the last 5 years, had a backup
"strategy" of attaching a tape drive to every server and running fulls
nightly.  We now have hundreds of servers (both Wintel and Sun Solaris)
and have a full time operations staff to do, among other things,
managing tapes.  Recently, upper management had decided to spring for a
tape library (ST SL500) to backup everything.  We have been using
Networker to backup our Sun servers and Backup Exec to backup our Wintel
servers.  We are now asking ourselves "do we want to stick with
Networker to backup everyone or go with another backup software
solution?"  As you can probably guess, the "other backup solution" is
NetBackup 6.0.  Most of our talent is with Networker but we've had a lot
of frustrations with the software as well (as I'm sure most of you have
had as well).  My question for you is this:

Given the opportunity, would you migrate away from Networker to
NetBackup?
Or would I be just be trading one headache for another?

Thanks
--Brett
