My guys have worked directly with the techs there and its great.

Does anyone use it? Anyone know how it compares to its competitors, for price, 
features, and usability? It would be for a small business, single server, W2K3, 
files, and sql express 2005 (130MB data). We are also interested in failover to 
a local older server (does not have to be automatic, just simple and/or easy), 
and storing an image of the server offsite.

Re: AppAssure Replay4

2011-01-17 Thread Kelli Sterley
We just installed it to replace an Overland tape drive that is old and
antiquated.  From what I have seen (being a new employee) it looks slick.
Easy to configure and looks easy to restore.  Time will tell if it is really
as good as it looks.

The one issue we are having is a server located in the DMZ can not be
installed remotely.  I'm sure it's a port that needs opening but have yet to
find which one it is.  Anyone know?
