Hi.

I have been tasked with investigating a backup/restore solution that will
be used to backup a Sun 3310 NAS with up to 1.3TB data. At the moment, the
L25 tape library with SDLT320 drive(s) looks like it will be the right
hardware for us, but I am interested in opinions with regards to software.

At the moment, we backup our Sun servers (An E450, E3000 and V880) using
ufsdump. I am keen to keep doing this for the operating system using local
DDS4 drives as it will make system restore in the event of a disaster much
quicker (or that's my understanding at least). Over time we intend to
migrate much of our "non-operating system" data off the servers and onto
the NAS.

Question is, Sun are selling both StorEdge Enterprise Backup (formally
Solstice Backup (a rebadged Legato Networker?)) and Veritas NetBackup. Are
they equivalent products? Is one aimed at the lowend and another at the
high end? What are the pros and cons of each?

Any help appreciated.

JR
