    Sorry for the very late summary !  I hope to have many many
answers....not so much !

        Most importants points to considere :
            - as usual scalability, performance, ease of admin and install,
etc...
            - ability to back up the most amount of data in a set timeframe
            - support for any platform
        Depending on requirements:
            - format of storage (tar, proprietary, etc)
            - ease and adaptability of scheduling
            - ease of scripting


    NetWorker vs Netbackup :
        - Some found NetBackup interface more intuitive. Some others not.
Hard to have a consensus.
        - NetWorker seems to have new functionalities sooner than NetBackup
        - NetBackup could store data on tapes with a non-proprietary format.
        - NetWorker is easier to script

    Last (but not the least), if you need to have backup/restore interface
built for users, NetWorker is the way to go. On the other hand if you need
someting much more for operators, NetBackup is a good choice.   I mean, with
NetWorker users could do their job without any operator assistance; but
NetBackup interface may be much more intuitive for operators.


        Thanks.
