Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 7.1

Well I did fire up the beta but I can't really say I had time to discover anything special. The items of most interest to me were AIR and the LiveUpdate being able to do major version upgrades on clients. I'm nowhere near having the setup to be able to use either but I can see that they would

Re: [Veritas-bu] Media Servers Per Tape Drive Ratio
