[rescue] OT: Looking for an old version of Veritas Backup Exec

[William Enestvedt]

One problem might be feeding it the USB sticks in the right order to
recreate/reinventory the archive.

   I got off of Veritas NetBackup (for Solaris) back when it still used
tar's format for its on-tape storage. Recovery was *much* easier, though
backups spanning multiple tapes were trickier.

   Sorry, man, that's pretty bad.
