storage manager options

Hi, We've just found out that our storage manager (Netbackup) doesn't suport IDS 11.5 on Solaris X64 (even though we were verbally assured by their sales rep that they did at the time we purchased the new hardware platform). Would anyone know of any possible alternative? Maybe IDS on-Bar on another platform (e.g. SPARC) can remotely backup another IDS instance. Maybe on-Bar can be setup to communicate with a remote backup manager? Any other idea? The only solution I found so far is acquiring a whole new tape library and manage it with Tivoli which the only backup manager I found that supports IDS 11.5 on solaris X64. Thanks, Ben
