Re: Recovery Manager vs. SQL Back Track

We currently use SQL BackTrack on both Solaris boxes where our interface to tape software is netware. To put it mildly, netware sucks. When we were going to disk SQL BackTrack worked like a charm. On our other system - AIX - our interface is ADSM. It too has worked like a charm. If you can stay away from using SQL BackTrack with netware's obsi interface, go for it. Otherwise, stay as far away as you can.
