Has any body got any opinions on the performance of HP Data Protector Backup Software in a consolidated backup environment supporting both Intel & VMS platforms?

It takes more than say Veritas BackupExec to setup and manage, and I would highly recommend that you get HP professional services or your VAR to assist with the implimentation.

All in all it is robust and a decent alternative to Veritas NETBACKUP ... though the Veritas solution is far more widely used and thus has a better support base.

The price diffence between the two is huge. HP is hot to sell their solution so you should be able to snag a great deal on the core and agent pieces, the last place I used it we were backing up like 60 Win2k Servers, Oracle on aout 3 HPUX systems and were moving towards being able to backup our ACD system as well.

I don't know that I'd go back to it unless price prohibited me from getting the Veritas solution.
