Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Omniback vs Netbackup
Why not have HP come in or better yet, have them set up a lab/demo environment up for you? Explain to them that your company has gone through an acquisition and that you now own/manage/maintain two infrastructures and that your goal is to consolidate down to a single platform. My guess is that they will do whatever they can to help you to understand why Omniback is superior to NBU. This will put you in a better - not ideal, but better position to evaluate the HP solution in light of your organization's requirements. By going through this process, your recommendation, whatever it is, should be much more credible to your management team, than it would be otherwise. --Steve === Steven L.

Re: [Veritas-bu] HP Omniback vs Netbackup
No comparison info as I've never touched Omniback, but what it will probably boil down to is real dollars. If you can show NBU to be a cheaper solution to install/run/manage, then that is what upper management will want to hear. The higher ups typically don't care about what product is installed, only what it does for the bottom line. For instance, if Omniback has to be installed on HP servers with HP-UX, that may be more expensive than a comparable Sun/Solaris combo for NBU. Good luck!
