I'm looking at dropping Legato and purchasing Veritas for my backups. What are the pros and cons of Veritas? How is Veritas service and support? Is there a better enterprise backup solution?
I think that the recent discussion about problems with NBU and DOT/Java/NDMP should raise some alarms about Veritas. Mind you I would never ever suggest that anyone buy Legato's NetApp clientpack. We use networker via a Sun U220R and NFS, and I must say that when it works it works well but expect to spend much too much time baby sitting networker. The down side is that cifs acls cannot be saved that way so I guess that in the future we will need to use a november tango system.
Quick Restore has received a lot of praise, unfortunately for us they only support SCSI robots, but they may also be affected if the NDMP Java classes have problems.
