As an actual "backup" product, Ntbackup does great, even in larger environments. Where it lacks is exactly what you mentioned. Scheduling and reporting (along with support for autoloaders). If those are features that you require, then yes, you will need to exclude Ntbackup. I personally don't consider Arcserve a "viable" alternative either, which would leave you pretty much with Veritas. :-) Ben Winzenz Microsoft Exchange MVP Network Engineer Gardner & White Ph (317) 843-3418 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hague, Jeff Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 10:19 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Windows backup software I have 20 Windows 2000 servers, 1 Exchange 2000 and 1 SQL 2000 - Im planning on upgrading all to Win2K3 and Exch2K3 over the next year. I have 2 tape libraries and 1 NAS that I am planning on using in a direct to disk and from there to tape arrangement. I only discount ntbackup because the reporting isnt very good and scheduling still isnt really that good either...

Its that time of year again to renew our licensing or switch to something else. We are currently using Veritas 8.6 and need to got to 9x if we plan on moving to Win2K3 and Exch2K3. Is there anything else out there?
