I use version 1.2-9 total of 23 clients for 7 months now. VAX, ALPHA, cluster servers and standalones. We are performing daily incremental backups with monthly archives for historical and legal requirements. After initial implementation , we have had no problems. I do not used the supplied .COM files to perform the backups ended up writing something on my own.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 8:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Archive Backup ClientT (ABC) V3.1 (New!) for OpenVMS Is anyone using the ABC Client for VMS? I'd like any feedback as to the reliability for you. I've worked with Kelly on this and so has he. If you want my personal opinion I'd say.....never mind...... Needless ot say I've been trying to get our people to use the 2 licenses we have, Version 1.2-6. I know it has worked in the past but they stopped using it because he says it works for a while then stops. He gets it fixed and it stops. At which point he gives up and says he ran out of time to look at it. That's great DR isn't it? I can't believe it's any more or less difficult to use or reliable than anything else we have, but I would like some feedback from others using it so I can get this resolved. The administrator has asked management to purchase a backup package, which they've obviously balked at since we're supposed to have one that works now. The question is why can't he get this one to work? I don't have access to it, can't answer it, and he doesn't seem to have time to check it. Don't ask me how he's going to find time to implement and care for the one he wants to purchase. Thanks for the feedback.
