Is DPA 6 user friendly?
4 yrs ago, I worked with DPA 5.x (can't remember which version exactly) to collect stats for NW 7.6.1 and DD880. It was very user unfriendly. Any backup job over 24 hr would be treated as failed. The backup size did not match report generated from NMC because if NMC db was busy, it would collect the data thru NW mm. I could not recall whether it calculated based on 1GB = 1000MB or 1024MB. I recalled the default settings did not match the one with NetWorker. Config report was not so easy. When DPA was collecting data from NW server, the NW server was very slow!!!
Now, one of the site may use DPA. Wonder if it is still the same nightmare for version 6.
