NetBackup 6.5.3 at TSYS
Updated: 21 May 2009 | 1 comment
Dhammica has a pretty strictly firewalled environment with Wintel based NetBackup servers (Windows 2003) backing up nearly a 1000 wintel, AIX & Linux clients with 20-40TB of storage. They also have a large number of VMWare machines being protected with NetBackup. For databases they back up Lotus Notes 7, Oracle 9i RAC, Oracle 10g and MS SQL. And finally for encryption they like to use the IBM EKM built in to the IBM TS3500 (3584) library along with IBM TS1120 tape drives. Want to be as cool as Dhammica? Get NetBackup 6.5.3 for yourself here.

Having worked with NetBackup since 1999 and the then almost still "Open Vision" versions Veritas NetBackup 3.0/3.2 through 3.4 then 4.5, 5.x and Symantec NetBackup 6.0.x, I must say that I had found that 6.5.2 was the most stable (and of course most powerful) of the lot, although it did have a number serious niggles and a fair amount bugs. What I've seen since installing 6.5.3 a month ago is that the stability & performance has remained but, the “niggles” and bugs have gone.
Of course it's almost inevitable that we will come across new issues, but I do believe this is now the true market leader for Enterprise Backup and is a long way ahead of Legato Networker, it's closest rival. Looks like the Symantec engineers have done a good job here.
