Re: [Veritas-bu] NB 6.0 Aptare
We have been using Aptare for about 5 years now and it has worked very well. Their support is excellent. I agree, that even with NOM, we will want to keep Aptare for historical purposes. We use Aptare for our SOX reports. Without it collecting that information would be very painful. = Carl Stehman IT Distributed Services Team Pepco Holdings, Inc. 202-331-6619 Pager 301-765-2703 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ed Wilts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/01/2007 09:13 PM To Hindle, Greg [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc NB List Mail veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject Re: [Veritas-bu] NB 6.0 Aptare On 2/1/2007 2:03 PM, Hindle, Greg wrote: Does anyone use netbackup 6.0 and the Aptare reporting software?

Re: [Veritas-bu] NB 6.0 Aptare
Greg I use Aptare and I also just installed and evaluated NOM V6MP4. NOM is very similar to the old CCstor which we evaluated when we chose Aptare. NOM has nowhere near the function of Aptare and I do not like the interface. In addition Symantec just announced a new product that will be doing backup reporting (Backup Reporter). I think this means that the free NOM product is probably not going to receive much love and the new product that will cost you money and it will get the attention. So NOM is not going to catch up to Aptare and I have little confidence in the Backup Reporter product either. Backup Reporter already has a few things I don't like. Primarily it normalizes messages from the backup products. Instead of getting a NetBackup 150 or a TSM (whatever the code is) you will get a standard job was cancelled message, but you may not know it was specifically a 150. Aptare does not normalize messages so if you are running NetBackup, TSM and Legato you will get the product specific information you need to do your job. So Symantec is rolling out the next 6th remake of a backup reporting product in about as many years (Advanced Reporter, Storage Track, GDM, Command Central, NOM, Backup Reporter). Did I miss anything? I want to see a stable product for at least 2-3 years before I look at Symantec's backup reporting again.
