Thanks From: James Kerr [mailto:cluster...@gmail.com] Sent: 02 August 2012 17:53 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Backup software I am so happy we don't use backup exec anymore. We are using Microsoft Data Protection Manager and absolutely love it. I mean it, if it was a girl I'd ask her out to dinner. -----Original Message----- From: Nigel Parker [mailto:nigel.par...@ultraframe.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2012 1:07 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup software Hi Looking to change our backup software and are open to recommendations Our servers are a range of Windows 2000 2003 with Exchange 2003 and a couple of version of Microsoft Sql server 2000 and 2005 We were looking at Symantec backup exec These machine will have a dedicated backup server and an lto5 tape drive We will backup to disk and then to tape (we have a requirement for an off site tape backup so this must remain) The backup will easily fit on 1 lto 5 tape and with data volumes this should be ok for 2-3 years HOWEVER We also have 2 IBM AIX servers running version 4.3.3 and version 5.1 These will backup again to a dedicated server with an ultrium 5 tape drive The IBM servers cant be upgraded! Looking for a "supported" solution We looked at backupexec and netbackup however only Older an now none supported version will work with our Aix versions the new version "may" work but would be unsupported! (no good for us) Also they are charging quite a high premium for backing up to tape Suggestions are welcome especially first hand experiences If any software is available that will do the whole thing (backup windows and Aix) this would be an advantage and of course keep down the costs Currently we are using OPENBACKUP now unsupported and are looking at ARKEIA (a spin-off of openbackup or parallel version) Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: www.ultraframe.com Email: mailto:nigel.par...@ultraframe.co.uk Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
