I currently use NBU 3.2GA on a Sun E450 Master server and I have no problem
backing up my 70+ Novell NetWare servers. I do have the occasional problem with
the bpcd client crashing the Novell server but for the most part I'm pretty
satisfied with the way NBU does it. I restore this data for various users on a
daily basis and I have a high confidence level as to the functionality of the
NetWare client agents. My Novell servers are 4.11 by the way.
Regards,
Dennis

I could never come across appropriate documentation comparing the
two products.
I recently had the NetWare admins approach me regarding their
machines being backed via our NB environment (NB 3.4/HP-UX 11.0).
It was mentioned to me at that time that they had heard that NB
cannot handle NSS (NetWare filesystems) as well as Backup Exec.
That is when I tried looking for documentation regarding the
issue. The only info I could find was in the archives of this
user group. I did find that people complained about the NB agent
crashing NetWare servers and that Backup Exec was a good tool for
NetWare backups. I am not happy about bringing in a new product
especially since I cannot administer B Exec form NB and there is
a whole learning curve that our operators would have to go
through.
Has anybody else heard anything along these lines?
