RE: Informix and veritas netbackup

I have heard that Informix is phasing out there Informix Storage Manager. -----Original Message----- From: Tom McGivern [mailto:t.mcgivern@iname.com] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2000 12:18 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Informix and veritas netbackup Does anybody use the Veritas netbackup product to backup their databases and/or logs? I've heard it interfaces to onbar, but our DBA team (I'm the SA) is reluctant to move to it. We plan to use netbackup to backup the rest of our systems, we'd like to get informix backed up and managed as well. the DBA's concerns are 1) that Informix won't support the configuration if we have a problem during a restore (generally the most stressful time in a DBAs life to start with, they don't want to find out that Informix doesn't support them on top of that). 2) That there may be version specific support problems, that if Veritas didn't keep up with support of informix releases, that the DBAs could not upgrade Informix until Veritas caught up. Any comments good or bad on your experiences (or why you choose to not use it), would be appreciated. Thanks.
