Scheduling Tools

[Gormag]

Do any of you know of a scheduling tool that would work with most, if not all of the backup solutions on the market?

Netbackup, BackupExec, TSM, Legato, HP Omniback, EMC / EDM, CA Arcserve / Brightstor / etc

I have been asked to 'find a common scheduling tool' that can be rolled out to all environments.

I just do not know of ANYTHING that can do this, so I thought I would ask here..

Thanks,

Just because the VERITAS documentation states a certain thing does not make it a fact and that is truth.

I've also heard of, but have not experienced, Aptare. However, I think it also just reports. You can demo it at

We use TIVOLI WORKLOAD SCHEDULER (TWS). It works fine with NetBackup on Unix, Linux, and Windows. We only have NetBackup running in our environment but the way TWS works is by scripts and commands. Essentially TWS starts a backup by kicking of the backup in command line from the master server. I'm not sure if the other backup products have the power through the command line that NetBackup has, but I don't see a reason why TWS would not work with other backup software.
