Neverfail feedback

My company is looking at Neverfail and while it looks good so far I'm looking for some feedback. This would be for Exchange (not BES, too much $$) between two sites for DR only. Thanks! - Jer ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~

Re: Alternative to Symantec Backup Exec DLO

Graeme, When I asked about DLO the general consensus was people didn't like it. I'm not saying don't use it but I don't know how many responses you'll get b/c I don't know how many people use it. Storing data locally is required? If so I don't have suggestions for you but if you can swing

BUE synthetic backups failures - do they work?

I have some questions for you BUE users regarding synthetic backups. I'm currently testing BUE 12. First I'd like to know who actually leverages synthetic backups. The concept sounds great but I'm having problems getting them to reliably work on my larger file servers (over 500,000 files).

BUE Desktop/Laptop Option

Anyone have any experience with this product? I'm trying a demo of BUE12 in my lab and I've started playing with this feature. A lot to learn but so far so good. Wondering if there's gotchas waiting that aren't obvious at first. Even if you only have experience with the 11d version I'd appr

BUE - Intelligent Image Option

There used to be an option in the 8.x days of BUE for handling a server with millions of small files. The idea was to backup the images (or whatever that data was) as blocks of data and then backup the metadata separately. This would be faster than grabbing each file individually. I don't se

Dumb question but I'm replacing my existing AD boxes (server2003 Std 32bit) and want to be prepared for Server2008 (probably an AD upgrade in early 2009). In doing so I want to add extra RAM to the box. If I put 16GB RAM into the new box and install Server2003 Std 32bit what will the system d

Ara, Try staging to disk with multiple streams and then moving to tape. That'll shorten your backup window and won't require additional tape hardware and will provide you with faster backups. A word of caution. My existing BUE environment doesn't dupe to tape well so I would test in your envir
