Hi All,
As you aware Veritas removed Windows Netbackup Admin Console in netbackup 7.7 onwards which seems to be a bad decission taken by Veritas. It is very easy, Fast and convinient to do day to day backadmin task using Netbackup Admin console comparing to Netbackup Java console. Many features and flexibility which is available in windows Netbackup admin console is not present in JAVA console.
So this is an appeal and request to Veritas to implement this feature again in netbackup 7.7 or else this will bring backupadmins life to hell.
I just checked and found few draw backs in java console:
1) we are unable to filter-out things easily.
2) java console works slow
3) the java console gui doesn't shrink properly to press oK, apply , modify or cancel
4) restorating data is bit complicated ( in windows restore path needs to be given in Unix format)
5) Unable to view topology windows in java GUI
6) Can't browse client drives. so always dependant on other team to get confirmation which is also time consuming process.
7) Unable copy client name or policy name from Details Jobs.
There might be many more things which is easily done by Windows Admin console but not in JAVA console.
Please provide your thought on this. Hopefully Veritas will implement
Thanks
