Hey Randy
Our environment is very similar. For the Main Datacenter we
have 1 Master 10 media/SAN Media servers.
We currently have around 18 drives in a StorageTek L700.
The question I'm having some issues with is that
we back up Oracle, SQL DB's, HP-UX, Red hat and
Window systems. We have a ton of client servers and I heard
that Data Protector doesn't use Policies for all clients
(example: Window_File_System policy) but that you must assign each
system
to it's own backup schedule. I also heard that it doesn't
work well with systems outside of HP systems. Is this valid
information?
Please let me know your thoughts guys.
Todd
Todd,
What’s
the size of your configuration? The guys (like we’re all old drinking
buddies in here) had to come to my rescue a couple of months ago when I was
making the same comparison. HP Data Protector turned out to be fairly
comparable in a network half the size of my current setup. I have a
single master and a dozen or so media/SAN Media servers sharing one library with
24 drives and I got the impression that Netbackup was a better choice for
me.

Protector Comparisons to Netbackup
I need to speak to HP
about their Data Protector Solution. If anyone has experience or
knowledge
of HP Storage
Protector can you please send me some information regarding how you think it is
"not as good" as
Netbackup current version. I want to see how they respond to the
comparisons.
If anyone has
information on their product please forward your
opinion.
