+1 on BE 12.5
Sean Rector, MCSE From: Roger Wright [mailto:rwri...@evatone.com] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 11:54 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Software ARCserve 12.x is solid, not at all like previous version. I prefer the interface over Backup Exec and like the built-in multiplexing. Tech support is offshore. BE 12.5 is also working well for us; my restores have been 100% in the past 18 months. It just runs. Errors are infrequent and fairly easy to diagnose. Tech support is good but offshore. Commvault is highly regarded, but we found it non-intuitive and cumbersome without training. I did have opportunity to use their tech support, and it was superb with U.S.-based product specialists.

It wasn't so bad, unless you wanted your backups to complete successfully. I became a whiz at reinstalling the software.

I've used BackupExec and CA Arcserve, CV outshines them both. Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.

What kind of questions did you have? On Fri, Apr 17, 2009 at 7:10 AM, Brumbaugh, Luke <luke.brumba...@butlerahs.com> wrote: Guys, I am really hating backupexec. I have done many DR tests and have used these backups to more servers to different hardware. But it is a constant fight to make sure that the backups complete successfully. The latest thing is that on all DCs in the sysvol it will not backup the Do_Not_Delete... directory. Constant email db failures. Etc. My boss and I have looked at Commvault, but haven't heard anything except from salesman and salesman pointed to customers. Then there is Microsoft system center data protection manager 2007. Anybody have any luck with a backup software? Luke L.
