The number of servers I am administering is about to go from 140 to 500. This changes the dynamics of how to apply NBU patches. I read about LiveUpdate. Based on your experiences, is this a worthwhile approach or is there another method which work...
Per the documentation:
"By default, all jobs are processed before more jobs are submitted. Increase this interval to allow NetBackup to submit more jobs before all jobs are processed"
There are multiple ways to throttle NBU jobs. For me, I restric...

Food for thought...
We have virtualized our NBU Master and 4 out of 5 Media servers (5th puts Copy 3 to tape). Depending on your environment, you may not have to use clustering. In our case, we use EMC Recoverpoint to replicate our VM's to our DR site - this includes ...
