The company I worked at for 7 years (Veritas) is no more. NetBackup (the profitable part) is going to Cohesity, and all the other products to a new spinoff called Arctera.

I'm sure most of the brilliant people I met working on NetBackup will... continue to work on NetBackup. It's a good product that makes a LOT of money.

Sadly the other parts are going to be very challenged.

I used to manage a few HP MSL6000s with Ultrium 3&4. HP Data Protector (Omniback) was/is superior to Netbackup IMHO.

I worked on the filesystem backend for NetBackup. As opposed to the tape backend which most people used and most developers worked on. It had some really unique features that I haven't seen anyone else successfully copy even today!

I ran into a Year 2038 problem today, and only realized it because I knew of the Year 2038 problem.

As I have vented about, we are currently migrating on onprem file servers to Azure NetApp Files. We have landed on "Use NetBackup to restore to ANF and then delta."

You think Cohesity has plans for any major changes/features now that they bought NetBackup?

The most important function Excel (other spreadsheet software is available) provides is “make all this BS into a graph”.

I will die on that hill, and I got plaudits for abusing the thing to generate NetBackup CLI to configure new tape drives. (You really, really don’t want to know.)
