Welcome to the world of non-integrated systems.  If you didn't have all that
AS/400 experience cluttering up your brain you'd be a lot happier.  For our
Unix admins it's a given that we have to find the appropriate layered
product for system and database backups (hell, you have to decide which
*file system* software you want).  On NT there's some gray area because the
"OS" provides a partial solution that may seem like a full solution.  When
we install an NT server there's a list of layered software, including a
backup agent, that has to be ordered, installed, configured to complete the
operating environment.  I have a tough time getting over it, but I always
thought that was what the operating system was for.

Well, the only reason you would need Veritas is because MICROSOFT'S BACKUP
SUCKS.  MS does a very poor job a backup to the point that we've yet to
find anyone that's been able to do a full complete restoreable backup from
MS 2000 Pro or server....  Even local MS'ers use Veritas...geee...:)

AS/400 doesn't have that problem....I can restore a full system or any
part from a full system state backup equivalent...

Just my humble opinion...:)
