15 years agoHave the pleasure also of administering both Windows Master and Unix Master. But our own NBU environment has been on UNIX since NBU 3.x days, never once considered Windows.
UNIX is mostly always up, only time you need to reboot is for kernel upgrades. Security updates just go in for the most part. Just think how much pain is shutting down a NBU master in your backup window.. every "MS patch Tuesday"
What I would say if your backup environment is complex, then scripting on UNIX is so easy, and I am no programmer. And the available UNIX scripts out there FAR outweigh those for Windows. The scripting helps get more out of NetBackup as an administrator and batch scripts aint much fun, unless thats your thing.
What I'm saying at the least have the master as UNIX.
