CommVault is a serious backup product, they have a few tiers - the central management server, media servers and the actual backup servers. I have been through a few demos with them but for whatever political reasons the companies I worked for didn't choose CommVault. Even for a demo they usually send a guy or two to install the product and show how it works.
They can work with SANs or with backup servers. They sure have pretty good tape management. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Hutchings Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 2:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Commvault Galaxy Apologies for being OT here but I'm sure I've seen this product mentioned on this list, albeit probably in an exchange context. We're replacing a bunch of servers in the next few months, including our main fileserver, and may be moving to a SAN solution (Dell AX100). Our experiences with Arcserve have not been too pleasant, so I'm looking at alternaitves. What we want to be able to do is "normal" GFS rotations on an LTO2 library, if we do go the SAN route we would want SAN aware backup software, if we end up replacing with another bunch of servers with direct attached storage we need to be able to back that up via a central backup server which had the tape library attached. I keep hearing good things about Commvault Galaxy - anyone here use it, have any thoughts on ease of use etc? I'm specifically thinking "tape management" - Arcserve doesn't seem very intuitive at saying "todays "special" Friday, take this tape out and take it offsite, insert this tape instead" and things like that.
