One thing about NSS is that no one really supports with an Open File Agent,
Ask Novell =)

They are working on making one available, St. Bernard has been known to work
ok, but nothing works all the way right.  NBU can backup NSS volumes, but
you can not use OTM on it at this time.

There is also someone on this Mailing list from Novell, maybe he can chime
in, Scott?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Differences of backup exec and Netbackup


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?
