Howdy folks,

I think we have a situation with the back/restore/NDMP area, and what's
needed is a confab between Product Development and QA on how to best
proceed to attack the issue in a manner efficient enough to make some
decisions (and fix some bugs possibly) in the next two weeks.

Jobi or Narain, would you be willing to set up such a meeting, where PD
can talk about what testing configurations would produce actionable
information, as well as what kind of coverage testing between cougar
and bobcat will generate enough information for TH (management) to make
some decisions regarding what can and can't be shipped, what, if
anything, needs to be cut out or prioritized?  QA can talk about what
combinations of are possible in the remaining time.

If people think everything is under control and this isn't necessary,
say that too, but it sure seems like it from where I'm sitting.

Current rumours to add to the fray:

If there is a priority, remote backups would come after local backups.

"Reasonable" configurations can't reproduce that vast majority of
defects found in SSoak environment.  QA's first question: so what does
PD think constitutes a "reasonable" configuration?  And does that even
matter?  Answer: let's work together to come to some agreement on that.

...etc.

Thanks,

a
