Do you pay a maintenance contract for Veritas? If so, it's payback time, 
time for them to earn their money.

This is very interesting for me as we are about to replace our entire backup

NetBackup. If it doesn't work, and Veritas can't make it work, I'd like to 
know before we make a final decision.
