Comment Backup infrastructure (Score 2, Interesting) 1264
We run veritas NetBackup on HP-UX machines, though we're an all-linux shop. Why, you ask, don't we run linux when the newest version of veritas' (excellent) netbackup datacenter (4.5) is available for linux _servers_ (not just clients, as in the past)? Simply: Fibre-channel tape library support. Any F-CAL support for anything (besides IP over Fibre channel, which isn't very useful) would be nice!
Granted, it's a total niche market, HP, sun, IBM, and Microsoft will continue to get their feet in the door at every company that backs up a lot of data--or uses SANs--because linux is years behind in that department (we've had our Surestore 6/60 libraries for 3 years now).
