[THIN] Re: OT: Backup Software

I've been using various versions of Veritas/Symantec Backup Exec over
the past 3 years and never been disappointed with it.

As long as the agents are available for what you need to backup from you
shouldn't have a problem.

Subject: [THIN] OT: Backup Software

Looking for opinions on SMB backup solutions. My past 5 1/5 years of
backup experience are with CommVault, but I think it's going to be too
pricey and complex for the environment. Prior to CommVault, I used
ARCServe, but I think it was v8 or 9, and it's now up to 12.

I have a few calls lined up to go over ARCServe and Backup
Exec/NetBackup. Does anyone have suggestions on other products to look
at? The environment consists of a couple physical Windows Server boxes,
a bunch of virtual Windows Boxes running on VMware. Something that
works with VCB would be nice. The Tape drive in use is a LAN or FC
connected LTO3 library. I also have 2 Apple Xserve RAID arrays which are
FC connected SCSI arrays (they present as LUNs to VMware) and I am
hosting VM's on the Xserve RAIDs on those LUNs. All actual file storage
is done inside of a Windows VM.
