Hi Young,

I thought I would send this to you instead of Bill or the alias. You can
forward all or part as you wish.

Here is my experience with the docs in these alternate locations.

I recently wrote a Best Practices document, and had to add a reference
to Netback system administration documentation. It ended up being the
following reference:

Symantec/VERITAS NetBackup Documentation:
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Software/Storage_Software/VERITAS_NetBackup/index.html

If Anne Wong of Storage Systems Engineering hadn't seen a draft of the
document posted to an interest alias and told me about this location, I
would not have found it on my own.

However, when I searched for NetBackup on docs.sun.com, these documents
(and paths) did turn up.
