What he said. Commvault will have nothing
to do with NBU’s index or tapes.
You may consider using Index Engines’
product (http://www.indexengines.com),
as it will allow you to read your old backup tapes for e-discovery purposes.
I have to say this: You have backup tapes
you’re retaining indefinitely? That’s not what a backup product is
for. That’s what an archive product is for. IMHO, if you’re
keeping a backup tape longer than a year, you’re asking for nothing but
trouble.

CommVault?
You cannot import
your NBU database into CV. Even if you could, you wouldn’t be able to
recover your NBU-written data via CV, as you suggest.

We have new Management and when they saw my NetBackup
maintenance bill you could hear the butt cheeks closing up in the meeting.
My boss has asked me to evaluate CommVault. Last month it was HP DataProtector
and Microsoft DPM and now CommVault. I have no idea what it’s going
to cost to rip out NBU and replace it with NetBackup but I’m trying to
find justification to keep from having to research all of this. Does
anyone know if CommVault will import my NBU database? We have Infinity
retention tapes dating back to the end of ’05 and we can’t lose
them. If I have to keep NetBackup up and running in case of a restore,
that might be a deal breaker.
Does anyone have any experience with CommVault and are you willing to share
some thoughts?
Thanks,
Randy
