Do we gain or lose? It depends on what are you aiming for. Veritas has nice(r) GUI, and sometimes is easier to manage, especially if you are using RAIDs across multiple ( i.e. 5-10 ) drives, controllers, etc. If you'll use it to mirror root disks, and then use some hardware RAID for the data disks then SDS will be enough IMHO. GG> Veritas NetBackup - to backup both SAN files and internal disk files GG> Legato ??? - for backup, SAN and internal disk I have experience with Sun StorEdge Enterprise Backup Software and L25. Nice software, easy to setup with lot's of features - it can back up Windows, DBs, Unix-es etc. I still have no enough experience maintaining the thing, but for now it looks nice.
