We run 5.1 MP2 and have had NO problmes with the product itself (exclude the
fact that 2 Media Servers were destroyed by non technical backup people!)

For me it depends on the site. And at the moment, on the netbackup version.
 
At my small sites, backing up 3-5 clients, we get 100% success 80-90% of
nights. On the nights that we see failures, it's usually one stream that
fails, not a whole server. These are fairly static sites.
 
At my "large" site, with about 30 clients, I get a failure or two most night
- but this is mostly environmental rather than NB itself. It's machines that
have been moved, changed or disconnected. But of those 30 machines, many are
secondary machines, development servers or workstations - basically, subject
to a reasonably large amount of change.
 
And I have to say that 5.1mp2+ is a lot more reliable than 6.0mp?,
especially when it comes to the scheduler.
 
Regards,
    T.

All,

Do you usually have a 100% success every backup session? If not what is a
typical success rate?
