[SunHELP] [Q] anyone know "Robotic Automation and/or 2nd driv e" on VeritasNetbackup?

To add to this... If you should have problems with your 3rd party loader
control, you will find it very difficult to get support from Veritas
Software.  NetBackup BusinesServer is complex enough without having to learn
the implications of merging it with some other software out there.  The
other side of that, however, is the fact that NetBackup is a highly
scriptable product.  If you spend enough time with it, you may be able to
get around buying our loader software altogether.  Tech support, however,
does not support scripting as we sell consulting services for that kind of
thing.  So be sure and think through your options before jumping in and
finding yourself in over your head.

Sure it'll work correctly, you'll just have problems controlling the
loader. Don't know the L9, but it will probably have a mode where the
next tape in the library is loaded when a tape is ejected.

Also there is some freeware s/w that might control the robot arm ---
mtx, and some others. No guarantees though.

Going for the Netbackup options (even if they seem expensive) does mean
your backups will be more easily configured.
