[Veritas-bu] Using Datalink for NetBackup Support

2008-08-20 Thread schmaustech

Our environment uses Datalink for support on Netbackup, our Protectier VTL and 
our STK L700 tape library.  For the most part support is like that with any 
other 3rd party vendor.  Sometimes you get a good technician and sometimes you 
get a bad one.  

I should also note though that some of the technicians that work for Datalink 
support use to work at Symantec in Netbackup support.  If you get one of them 
you are lucky since they really know what they are talking about.

How do I know this?  I use to work at Symantec in Netbackup support as well.

[Veritas-bu] Using Datalink for NetBackup Support

2008-08-22 Thread Ray S

We use Datalink for our NetBackup support and I can't recall a case that I've 
filed with them that I wasn't completely satisfied with their support.  They're 
very knowledgeable about the product, and quite a few have experience outside 
of just NetBackup (unix, switches, data domain, etc).

For the record we have several environments using NetBackup with Solaris and 
Windows both.  We also utilize NDMP, Data Domain Restorers with VTL 
configurations (about to implement replication), NetApp filers, LTO2 and 3 
libraries (Quantum and Storagetek), and Cisco and Brocade SAN switches.  I've 
been able to rely on Datalink to help with all of our environments and 
appliances at one point or another, and they've always been able to deliver.  I 
highly recommend them for support.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Using Datalink for NetBackup Support

2008-08-19 Thread Kalusche, Dan
We use Datalink and I've been pleased with them.  They are the initial
line of support, and if they can't solve the problem, they'll open a
call with Symmantec.
My experience is that they'll respond a little faster when you open a
call online through their support website.  We haven't had any priority
one calls, so I can't comment on immediate help...
