Since no one else replied I will give you my experience:
(Backupexec for oracle 816 on NT/2000)

We are working with it and got backup speed up to 300MB per minute.

There are some limitations:

Backupexec does not delete archive logs. We wrote a script that marked all existing archive logs before starting the backup and delete all the marked logs after the backup.
When restoring to a different machine, Backupexec creates a folder for each tablespace and restore the datafiles to this folder. You need to move the datafiles to their place in order to start the database.
Backupexec does not do recovery. You need to restore the archive logs that you think you need and then do recovery yourself.

Is no-one out there using NetBackup???.

Without wishing to sound rude I'll assume a non-response indicates an affirmative to that OR that you're all too busy to voice an opinion ;)

Howdy Folks,

Would appreciate feedback on experiences, positive :) or negative :(, folk have had using Veritas NetBackup product for DB recovery, especially in DR scenarios. There is an Oracle agent but so far all it appears to me to be is a glorious scheduler of your own RMAN scripted jobs!. Feedback on features I may have "missed" with agent would also be appreciated.
