NetbackupExpert?

Once again licensing time has arrived and Symantec is giving away Netbackup. IBM's pricing model makes it hard to justify staying with TSM when Symantec is pricing their product sooooo low. Sure I can pull out graphs, reports, and pretty little charts to try and help management understand the difference, but let's face it, it all comes down to the bottom line. IBM doesn't like to budge on pricing and Symantec has nothing to lose. Anyone have some Netbackup training materials I can borrow?

TSM License Pricing

What's up with IBM license pricing being insanely high? It doesn't help when the Netbackup reps are willing to give their product away (free Crap is still Crap!). I've heard of numerous HUGE accounts looking into Netbackup, and with Symantec basically giving it away, how do you stop management from considering it? With IBM's pricing out of control it doesn't help. I sure hope IBM reconsiders their pricing...it's forcing people off of TSM.
