Re: Veritas Backupexec vs. Networker

Just a thought. I backup to disk from midnight to 6am all databases. The SysAdmin picks the backups from disk starting at 6am. I only need the tape copy when I need an older version. I rarely go to tape. Using this method, I maintain control of schedules, backups, restores, etc. The SysAdmins love it. Disk storage is cheap. I do this for 27 databases on 100gb storage.  

BTW, we also left Legato for TSM. Not sure if the grass is greener on the other side :).

Guys,

Our system admins. are considering Vertias Backupexec for the Oracle = backups which we have been doing with RMAN and Networker. We basically =
use Networker solely for media management and the system admins. manage =
that part. All of the scheduling and mainta. is done by dba's and using =
Oracle, crontab, RMAN. The weakest link consistently has been = Networker, tapes...

Now they are considering Veritas Backupexec. Can that be setup just to =
be a link in the same way Networker has. I am concerned with having the =
system admins. take over this part as again RMAN has been the stable = part of the backups. Plus I have heard some things about the Veritas =
Backupexec for SQL Server not working reliably with large backups.

Any opinions?
