You are going to have a difficult time of finding vendor to vendor comparison documents on TSM vs. Veritas Netbackup or BackupExec that are current and/or reliable. It really takes a customer like myself that has both to lay out what the issues are. We have a very large Netbackup implementation. We finally arrived at Netbackup could not meet our business requirements in the Windows environment and part of our UNIX environment. We are now evaluating dropping Netbackup completely. However, that said your hardware configuration, business requirements, and size of your environment have direct influence on whether Netbackup could be a solution. TSM in my estimation can be made to work period and has compelling reasons for being the product of choice. For example, TSM has a deleted file retention policy, a true Offsite Media management function, data object management versus a tape backup orientation, etc. Netbackup simply cannot do these functions. If you dig deeply and ignore the publications you will automatically arrive at TSM.

First thank you Nicholas, Juraj, Sergio, Uwe,Richard and others if I forgot them. I need to find any publishments that say that TSM is a good thing, a good choice, that it has many advantages, that's it's better than VERITAS etc... Myself, I don't need to be convinced, it's for our new boss. These publishments can be from Tivoli itself. I just have to documentate our choice of TSM, of Tapes as a Media, and Qualstar as Library. I already searched in the TIVOLI press review and did not find anything like this about TSM. If someone has already something, it would be great ! Thank you friends.
