Yeah, I don't remember that slide in the original sales pitch. It's like buying a car and the dealership locks the hood and only their mechanic has the key and the wiper fluid has run low. I can't justify this cost to my Management. I'm having trouble believing it myself.

Note: If you are using NetBackup Vault and plan to decommission a media server, it is recommended that you contact VERITAS Consulting for help with this task. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/266720.htm ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy Samora Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 1:45 PM To: VERITAS-BU@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media Server Retirement in 6.0 Windows across the board, 6.0 MP1, and I want to retire 3 media servers. Sounds easy enough, right? According to the documentation, and verified by Symantec Technical Support, because I am using NetBackup Vault, I need to avail myself with the services of a Symantec Consultant to do this for me. That's all I got from them. My boss is already having me compare other backup products because of the maintenance check we write every year for NetBackup. Now I have to go to him and say, "I know you're tired of paying Symantec all that money and I know you thought we were going to cut cost by getting rid of 3 of our media servers but guess what? We have to pay Symantec to come over and turn them off for us." It can't be that difficult, can it? Can someone point me to some documentation, blogs, guidelines, NBU gypsy tarot reader who might guide me in the right direction?
