which training is appropriate

I have a different approach to training. I still see something useful in even the entry level NetBackup training. (This is also why I am so addicted to this forum - in addition to helping with issues, I still see something new every day. ) Have you had a look at the free online training on the Veritas training site? I have not seen custom training that fits your requirements. There is basic and advanced training available. Still nothing that beats hands-on experience and this forum!

Well trainings are mostly version specific ? I doubt you will find anything for 6.5... All the trainings whihc would be available from Veritas will be on 7.x ?

 

W.r.t you query... why dont you download the commands guide and that does all the job for you ?

If your objective is to learn something called as basic and advanced ..you can start with adminguide 1 and then 2.. once completed go for troubleshooting, performance tuning  and best practices guide...

 

You should be good to go after this .....

 

i agree. whatever knowledge/experience i have now were gained hands-on, over trial and error, plus this forum. just that sometimes it gets frustrating when so much is expected when no formal training was even provided.

oh well, that's life.

exactly what i'm doing. gets tiring though with too much reading :)

will check the free online courses mentioned.

 

thanks.

This is life with NBU. You never stop reading up as things change all the time. I've been doing this for 17 years. I sometimes feel that I'm getting too old for this. Working for a Partner, I need to re-do certifications every 2 years. And at no point did I ever feel that it is becoming too easy or that I can do it 'in my sleep'.

Hello Marianne,

 

Your efforts are truely appericated and I agree NBU is continuous learning process :-)
