Re: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup server solaris X86 with VCB

it is not that. look at how many Windows VMs and Physical servers vs Linux/Solaris VMs. In my case, I have 80% Windows and rest of them Linux and Solaris. Also, Linux and Solaris work quite well when you directly backup the systems. I am not saying there are no companies where Linux/Unix systems are majority, then you would not use VMware in there probably. We use Solaris Containers though along with VMware.

Just guessing.

Unfortunately you VCB proxy has to be Windows 2003. The way to make life
easiest is for it to also be a media server, but it's not a requirement.
I've never understood why a company that has used the Linux kernel so
much makes all their management tools only available on Windows......
