That's not true. Symantec NetBackup has tier-1 platforms which are treated equally: Windows x86, Windows x64, Red Hat, Suse, Solaris Sparc, Solaris x86, HP-UX, AIX.
AIX and HP-UX, sometimes, divert from - what I would call - standard UNIX behavior (Linux and Solaris world). That introduces challenges and exposes platform-specific bugs.
Most of NetBackup code is platform independent. So, preference of platforms comes only when we are writing platform specific (OS/kernel, file-system, ...) code - which is not very common.
If you don't mind, please let me know EEB ET number and workaround case/ET
number.
Thanks, /Girish

Currently running 7.0.1 on AIX, and I really
want to move off to Linux. The code maturity on AIX lags behind,
in my humble opinion. I have one EEB installed and one workaround
in place to compensate for the lag.
New features are late comers to AIX
as well.
I actually fielded the question to Symantec
reps, and they said that Linux is the primary development platform now.
