You can have "unlimited" clients but it is not recommended to have more than 90 media servers. Also you must know that NetBackup can start one job (not policy) per second.

This is, imnsho, almost entirely dependent upon the skill level of the Admin. Many admins are capable of almost singlehandedly administering multi-thousand client installations with dozens of media servers in multiple locations. Scripts, automation (where applicable), and some long term retention of good Ops folks go's a long ways... If, however, you're looking for a good estimate of how much a given contracted resource can handle, that's a completely different kettle of fish, and it's going to vary from resource to resource, and from resource companies, etc. Regards, jcs On Mon, 19 Sep 2011, Mark Hickey wrote: > Folks, Assuming a mix of about 50% VM and 50% physical clients, and a > large ( several hundred) Oracle and SQL Server (almost 2000) presence, > are there ant rules of thumb about how many clients a NBU backup admin > can handle? > > Thanks > > > > _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
