I much prefer the Netbackup interface compared to TSM - we were Netbackup and have now switched to Tivoli. The client offers a lot more information and scope to manage all of your backups I feel compared to the TSM one, and is a lot easier to understand and use. We are currently using Netbackup

1. You can predefine or use scratch. (Below 5.3 if you are using scratch you are limited to one file system) We have multiple 1 TB file systems on 5.2.2.4 so we've predefined all of our volumes (via define volume). Have you seen the Disk only Backups presentation?

You could skip the dsmfmt step - I don't think it actually buys you anything. We've just done define volume (you just need to calculate how much space you have first to determine the # of volumes to define). The disk only backup document states that dsmfmt may buy you less fragmentation but this
