Good considerations. For PSTs, good luck backing them up. 9 Times out of 10, if a Laptop is powered on, Outlook is open and the PST will be locked.
As for Mozy, by default it throttles speeds for you, it's customizable. You don't won't it maxing out your upload speeds anyway... the point is that data is 'trickled' to the remote server... I have had Mozy on my desktop and laptop for ages. I have it set to backup 5 or 6 times a day. I never notice when it happens. Yes, Mozy does block level backups of ALL types of files, not just PSTs. -Sam -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 3:42 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: BUE Desktop/Laptop Option Sam, Good to know. I'm thinking of deploying something very simple to just backup office files so when a user's hd dies we can recover the data. This is also only for those pita users who refuse to store their data on the server (read executives) and for my true road warriors for whom it makes sense to carry their life on their laptop. I've decided that versioning prob wouldn't be an option I'd consider. The only reason I'm even considering it is 1- I'm buying BUE for at least part of my backup solution and DLO comes with it and 2-the agent licensing is cheap and 3-it would keep the data in-house and not be in the "cloud" even though I know it's encrypted. I've installed Mozy on my laptop for a test and was disappointed in the upload speeds. Prob b/c I asked it to back up a lot of data. I do believe it can do delta changes to PST files, though, correct? - Jer Sam Cayze wrote: > I love BackupExec, but can't stand DLO. It's a pain to configure and > set exclusions.
