I'd recommend against doing another backup software on same machine or even the same environment. The very nature of backup software guarantees it's going to be a cpu and memory hog and likely a network hog as well depending on how you're backing things up.
Additionally there is no way to have different backup software peacefully co-exist using the same storage resources. NetBackup media servers will co-ordinate with each other and jobs will be handled in such a way by NetBackup so that a request to backup to a given tape drive won't suddenly abort (usually) due to another request. No such guarantee can be had between two different backup software applications. NetBackup will assume it controls the storage when you run its jobs and the other software will instead assume it controls the storage and they'll both be wrong. You could setup different storage units for the two separate software packages but if you have that much in the way of resources it seems it would be much simpler to run two separate servers each with their own dedicated storage resources. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dididxb Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 4:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Veritas-bu] NBU coexistance with another backup software on same machine Hi folks , I have some questions regarding NBU 7.1 on windowas platform ( 2008 server ) attached to tape library: 1. Is it recommended to use another backup software on the same mahine at the same time with NBU? 2. If I had to have bothe software machines what is the expected behaviour ( If any one have done this exercise and willing to share their experiance please ) 3. If there is any recommended settings / best practices for such scenario? Many thanks in advance! dididxb +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - [email protected] http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu Athena(r), Created for the Cause(tm) Making a Difference in the Fight Against Breast Cancer --------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
