Question: Netbackup gurus?

I recently accepted a job as a backup administrator using Vertias NetBackup 6.5. Other then the documentation and Implementing Backups and Recovery by Little and Chapa, anyone have a good source to help me get up to speed?

I am backing up Windows servers. I am looking for good web forums, books, or curious if anyone has experience with the Symantec Veritas training? Although I will take all the help I can get.

I use the similar Backup Exec offered by Veritas but besides using the knowledge base and the occasional Google search, have not had a need for any additional resources/training.

In my NetBackup experience, the thing you'll need most is good luck. Random, unexplained errors abound. However google will usually be your friend. Also http://www.backupcentral.com/components/com_mambowiki/index.php/Category:NetBackup_FAQ
has provided a bit of help to me in the past.
