Wow, NetBackup is still that stoopid? I had to use it a few years ago =20= and I was wondering if I was the stupid one to not being able to just =20= change a fscking tape and seeing it in the interface. I was also =20 using Arkeia at the same time, and even if it has its own hates, it =20 was at least able to autodetect the tapes. Oh, and NetBackup Unix GUI was a total mess, the precise as if the =20 guy who made it had decided to follow the opposite of each rule of =20 GUI design. Oh and the installer, written in shell, was also stupid. --=20 S=E9bastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
