Sorry for the very late summary ! I hope to have many many
answers....not so much !
Thanks to :
Marco Greene
Fabrice Guerini
Mark Hargrave
Stuart Whitby
Most importants points to considere :
- as usual scalability, performance, ease of admin and install,
etc...
- ability to back up the most amount of data in a set timeframe
- support for any platform
Depending on requirements:
- format of storage (tar, proprietary, etc)
- ease and adaptability of scheduling
- ease of scripting
NetWorker vs Netbackup :
- Some found NetBackup interface more intuitive. Some others not.
Hard to have a consensus.
- NetWorker seems to have new functionalities sooner than NetBackup
- NetBackup could store data on tapes with a non-proprietary format.
- NetWorker is easier to script
Last (but not the least), if you need to have backup/restore interface
built for users, NetWorker is the way to go. On the other hand if you need
someting much more for operators, NetBackup is a good choice. I mean, with
NetWorker users could do their job without any operator assistance; but
NetBackup interface may be much more intuitive for operators.
Thanks.
