[Veritas-bu] netbackup and vStorage question

2010-01-23 Thread smpt
Hi to all, The last few days I have a fight with my company's Vmware guys about vStorage. Can anyone tell me what is vStorage and how I can get it? Is vStorage a VMware product or a third party API? Who must install and configure vStorage, the backup team or VMware team? Any other info

2010-01-23 Thread David Stanaway
