[Veritas-bu] NetBackup training

2010-11-15 Thread McDonald II, James F.
We are currently using NBU 6.5 for Windows and I am trying to pass my admin duties on to a new hire. I have not seen any training dates for NBU 6.5 for Windows for the Baltimore/D.C. area. Has anyone had NBU 7.0 for Windows training? Is it similar enough to the 6.5 training that we could send

I've been working through the web-based NBU 7.0 training (to fill in the blanks before my cert exam). There's not much in there that doesn't also apply to 6.5. By the time a new admin will get to the advanced features of 7.0, you'll be there anyway. BTW, unless you really don't like your new

Directly off a recent Symantec quote: SYMC NETBACKUP OPTION SHARED STORAGE OPTION 7.0 XPLAT 1 DRIVE STD LIC This is a separate line item. Can't help you with the SAN Media server, we don't use them here. Tier 1 is single CPU / Socket, Tier 2 is dual CPU / Socket. -Jonathan -Original

Im struggling really. I passed my NetBackup 6.5 Exam, but that was based purely on working experience. I could not do any training or work away from the job, due to commitments. Books I used was the manuals as well. No real choice like the Microsoft type of exams. Would be nice if I could

Our previous NBU admin left in March and we were still on NBU 5.1MP6 at the time. In July I was given the chance to attend class for NBU 7.0 and apply this to the 6.5 migration I was working on. By Aug I had successfully completed a 5.1-6.5.6 upgrade. I highly recommend the classes, especially

Simon The SAN Media Server is now called Enterprise Client. Just like the old SAN Media Server, it can back itself up to the SAN, but no other clients. The tier is based on CPU type/number, as Johathon and Ed mentioned. And yes, SSO is still seperate - licensed per shared tape drive. (I have
