Bob Thomson@backupbear hehe my first encounter with it was on Digital Tru64 and I recall the wee X icon of the armoured knight, seemed to promise some adventure game or RPG as opposed to backup and recovery :)
@bobthomson70 I was using it for a year or so on Solaris (as Solstice Backup) before becoming the lead sysadmin for our Tru64 systems, where it was true NetWorker. I know it's horribly retro, but I loved the old ugly-colours-interface too.
@backupbear I had a couple of contracts after that before I landed in Scottish Power and spent a lot more time on Networker backups and starting to understand a wee bit of use of it with RMAN too, in 1999. Last touched any of that in 2016, last time I touched Solaris or any on-prem kit really.
@bobthomson70 Very rare to see Solaris these days. I haven't even bothered to spin it up in my home lab for the last 5 years or so.
@backupbear tis sad. As I was saying to someone who asked me about yum the other day, these days I am more likely to be looking at apk as it's all messing about with containers on k8s now.
@backupbear that 2016 DC migration one I used by ancient nsradmin CLI skills to help the team with backup coverage checks and such without having to bother the end client too much ;)
I love this, so I@backupbear ooh wow I remember when a cut-down version of it was bundled with Informix DB, which required transaction log backups to be performed
