Re: [dubailug] OSS alternative to veritas

[Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis]

Hi Ashkay, Most backup systems are push-based for efficiency.  One example of this is to compress, or encrypt backup data before sending across the network to the backup server.  You can't do this with a pull solution.  A second example is where SAN-attached servers should backup data directly to the SAN-attached tape library.  Again, can't be done with a pull solution. Something like AMANDA is pull-based, but extremely inefficient, especially if you have large data sets. I have a few top-grade commercial alternatives to Veritas.  If you are interested, then best contact me off list.   Regards Sean Akshay Lamba wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a linux server based backup solution which is pull based rather than push based.
