 Posted: Sun May 07, 2006 4:50 am Post subject: Backup Software |
 |
|
All - Currently, we use Backup Exec 9.1 in 2 sites. Site 1 has 3 server,
Exchange, SQL and Files. Site 2 has 2 servers, Exchange, SQL & Files. All
servers are 2003 standard and the latest SQL and Exchange. There is not a
full time IT staff watching backups. I currently manage IT as a "third hat"
and don't have the time to spend that I should. Of course, it is ok now but
when something goes wrong and I am out of town....
We are considering upgrading our backup solution and I looked into Backup
Exec 10 and found that they recommend running it on a standalone backup
server. Thought I would research other backup options outside of the
standard Windows Backup software.
What do you use or recommend?
Thanks,
Brian P. Hammer |

how upgrading Backup Exec 9.1 to 10 will help you in case of "something goes
wrong and I am out of town...." ?
Backup Exec is graet software, i was working with the software for version
7.3 to 10.
Now i'm working with old Arcserve 2000 but i tested Arcserve 11.5 and it's
good too.

It won't help if something goes wrong; I just need something that once
configured, is more hands off than hands on...
Thanks for the feedback.

BackupExec is a good product.. I used it up to 10, then we switched to
NetBackup. it is pretty hands off for the most part and you can easily
delegate rotating tapes as needed..
I used Arcserve when we had a smaller number of servers (about what you
have) and it worked okay, but their tech support is bad. Veritas tech
support has put them to shame in my experience. |

Used to be true but since Symantec took over Veritas the support is crap.
REALLY bad and I have been a Veritas user for about 7 years.
However, the product is still great.

Any Arcserve v11 experts out there? I am running CA Arcserve v11 on a
windows server 2003 environment and I get a crashed backup every single
time,
no error messages. I have reinstalled the software and checked all the
services. Anyone has any idea?
