Anyone here ever use NBU?

Plankton has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Friends,

I have been tasked to collect as much information as I can about how a Netbackup setup is working. I figured, "Well heck I bet someone has done this before and that they have even used Perl to do a lot of stuff." ... so I go CPAN and see NBU-0.90f but I don't see any reviews or even if how many people have downloaded it. Anymonks here have any feedback for me?

Thanks!

Question back at you: Are you talking Netbackup as in Veritas? I haven't checked out the module you mentioned, but I do know that the Veritas products set up your backups pretty well. I would try using it before you try to do a perl alternative. It is pretty easy to set up and to run. We have a Sun StorEDGE L20 tape library that we use with Veritas to backup two Sun 3500's servers and three Blade workstations. It works pretty well for this. I am sure that it would work even better for a larger environment. Paulster2 You're so sly, but so am I. - Quote from the movie Manhunter.	[reply]
