I am looking for 3rd-party tape backup software for HP-UX 9.x. I have
heard praise for a package called OmniBack, but do not know the name of
the company that provides this. I would appreciate hearing about others'
experience with OmniBack. I would appreciate learning of other packages
available for HP-UX 9.x.

Omniback takes quite a bit to learn (mastering and confidence) and is
very cumbersome when it comes to basic backing up. It has some
advantages in complex circumstances.

Could you point out some of the genuine advantages and disadvantages of
OmniBack? It is being considered where I work, and a supervisor from
the mainframe world is enamored with large everpresent tools, and seems
to take delight in his claim that I can't accidentally tar over a tape
that OmniBack hasn't released yet. (Frankly, that scares me if true,
I don't want a program telling root what it can do.)

If you have one or two machines just backing up files, save the
headache and overhead. Go with fbackup or better yet use SAM.
1. 3rd Party Tape Backup for HP-UX 9.x
Recently I attended a week-long HP-UX 9.x Systems Admin class, and am
definitely still a newbie to UNIX systems admin. When we covered system
backup I was struck by the instructors statement that HP-UX's fbackup is
not a "real" backup, apparently because it does not provide for tape
verification, retensioning, etc. He said he once had to do a major
restore and found that *five* of this last six full backup were defective.
Pretty sobering newsx... His advice was to acquire a 3rd party package
recommended by your database vendor, and mentioned OmniBack as one such
package.
My company uses Informix-SE as database for an application server. I'd
appreciate knowledgable responses, recommendations, vendor names, etc., or
a pointer to a better place to inquire. We have a DDS tape drive in an
HP9000 E35.
Thank you for any and all responses!
