Do not read into anything about market share statistics. Suffice to say, the only two products that get any significant press now are TSM and Veritas NetBackup. They have market share in around the 20 percentile. A large number of Backup Exec licenses exist and are continually sold, but that is a very small environment solution and is Windows Only. So, you can see how it can claim installation in lots of sites. Every company probably has 1 copy of Backup Exec.
The real story is, what are your business requirements. Forget the claims. However, there is one document recently published on TSM and NetBackup. It wasn't a slam dunk of TSM over NetBackup, but it was pretty close. Essentially, the report recognized the industry leading design (10 years old) that TSM has for large environments. You simply cannot perform full backups anymore. TSM's progressive backup and media management philosophy is the answer for the forseeable future. Paul D.
