Backup for EVA 5k

[Lars Blumenthal]

Hi
We're a currently planning a new storage / backup solution. For the storage we decided the EVA 5000 with 2 DL380 NAS heads as the best solution.
But we have problems to find the right backup software. In the moment in our scope is Veritas Backup Exec and Netbackup.
I wondering if one of you guys have experience with EVA storage and those backup software.

greetings
Lars

Well if you were to use HP's Data Protector software:

Then you would be able to take advantage of the EVA integration components in Data Protector (if you have a business copy license for the EVA), which allows you to configure split mirror backups and even instant recovery.

Plus if you use Data Protector, you get a single vendor solution, and lots of help from us all at the DP forum here:
