Guys, Our system admins. are considering Vertias Backupexec for the Oracle = backups which we have been doing with RMAN and Networker. We basically = use Networker solely for media management and the system admins. manage = that part. All of the scheduling and mainta. is done by dba's and using = Oracle, crontab, RMAN. The weakest link consistently has been = Networker, tapes... Now they are considering Veritas Backupexec. Can that be setup just to = be a link in the same way Networker has. I am concerned with having the = system admins. take over this part as again RMAN has been the stable = part of the backups. Plus I have heard some things about the Veritas = Backupexec for SQL Server not working reliably with large backups. Any opinions? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
