I do love Netbackup, but it's truly a cantankerous beast.
Disk staging is my current nemesis. I had to write up my own monitoring scripts to tell me the staging volume was approaching capacity, because Netbackup would just run out of space and start failing jobs all over. No warning at all.
The other day I realized somebody had installed a relay bot because my HotSaNIC sockets counter showed an increase by one, at a time when I know I wasn't doing anything.
Sure enough, I found psybnc had been installed through a security vulnerability in a PHP script I'd put on my server.
My own fault for not vetting the scripts properly, or keeping up with updates, but at least the configs only let them stick it in/tmp and start it - they couldn't even install the crontab that was supposed to restart it every minute if it died.

That's true - but have you ever looked into the realm of completely terrible closed-source apps that are out there? Go dredge the recesses of download.com, and find just how hideous "for-pay" software can be as well.
I like it so far. We've got a bunch of multi-server installs (8 total, scattered around the country in various datacenters), some with a few terabytes of disk staging, some without, some with multiple media servers, some with only one server that does everything. It all depends on the requirements at that site.
We also do the offsite backup-via-offsite server. Handy as heck.
Right now I think we're doing something on the order of 25TB of data backups a night across all the datacenters. Netbackup handles the scheduling well, but we do also have an eight person team that is our enterprise backup team, and they've put lots of work into taming the beast.
I still get between 20 and 200 backup related tickets a night, but when you compare that to the tens of thousands of jobs being done, it's practically set-and-forget.:)
You'll have to pardon me for the vagueness in the posting, people would be annoyed if I named things specifically.:)
Could be a number of reasons to do the seemingly illogical double-hop method.
First, the new data may have been processed (edits, color correction, etc).
Second, the backup media may be better rated for long term storage. I'm not familiar with MiniDV, the stuff I work with is all DLT and HCART2 under Veritas Netbackup, at 200GB raw/400GB compressed per tape.
Third, it may be helpful to have the indexing done for him by a good backup program.
However, as I say, I work with Netbackup. To say it's pricey is an understatement... but it's changed my views on what's a "workable" backup system to only liking enterprise grade stuff.

That's not correct.
Telus stated that due to five years of no results at the bargaining table, that they would begin using their new proposed contract on a given date.
Prior to that date, the union walked out.
After the union walked out, Telus was still allowing many members (although not in BC) to return to work. How exactly is that a lockout?
Imposition of contract, yes.
The decision to not come to work, however, was completely made by the Union.
He used the right word. He meant vacation. As in, when you're being paid for having fun.
Unless you're trying to use Microsoft Office Communicator.
I don't think bpsched ever worked. ;)

Hang on, isn't that just an intern?

And yet, the planes can practically fly themselves.
Well I'm 33, and I find it stunning, and incredibly enjoyable.

Of course, a friend of my wife's is the lead animator, but all that means is I have a signed copy.

MAny of those 486's were built and installed long before home firewalls became available for purchase, much less hitting the $30 price point.
You talk like those people have any other options between:
- making sure they have multiple children who survive to adulthood and can take care of them when they get old
- they starve to death in their old age
That's it. Life in many parts of the world is still very brutal.
Do you not understand that when you don't make very much money, your children are your retirement plan?
Fedex can get a letter across the country in 4 days for less than 50 cents?
The taxi company can get me across the city for less than three bucks?
If you visit http://www.thedailywtf.com/ you'll find that the monkey to programmer ratio is easily a million to one these days.
Or doesn't want to pay the extra licensing fee to enable encrypted backups in their enterprise backup software...
Insane, but all too plausible.
As was said somewhere else in a sibling of your post, it's crapflooding - in this case, automated reposting of older replies.
Well, it would be better if it went into the recycling bins and was re-worked into kraft paper.
At the same time, just because somebody is espousing their beliefs it doesn't mean they can't be crackpot beliefs that are ripe for mocking.
Freedom of speech. He can say what he wants, and I can say what I want about what he said.
Possibly he didn't realize Leia was force-sensitive?
No clue, really... not sure why I'm justifying his plot holes either.
No, that just gives you infinite clones.
