Hi Guys, Add me to the list of greivances.. Welcome to the club of arcserve victims..... call them up.. particularly if you are a user from a country like Cyprus and they give you telephone numbers to all the centers in the world.. where you are greeted saying either.. well we dont have a support center here.. call this number ... or they send you a link to a page.. that is completely meaningless to the issue....... Why do people still buy Arcserve... I am gonna suggest Veritas to the management ......Arcserve looses one more client.

You can restore a few files from it. Now test if you can do a full disaster recovery "bare metal server" back to fully working with it. A surprisingly high number of people struggle to do this despite jumping through every hoop in the CA book. And the licencing doesn't work properly so prepare for lots of random failures to backup when the licence decides to fail because it's bored. Thanks to my boss, I had to use it for exchange and SQL backups in the past and it never ever worked properly to the point where I could trust it to work on backing things up unsupervised, and I never trusted it to restore properly either after many bad experiences.
