We've used it for our hospital software databases. Just recently, I did a backup of a server that had 1.4 million files totaling 8.37 gig. I tried to restore same to another server and Legato couldn't handle it. It ran and ran for over 8 hours doing what it calls "browsing," which we assumed were writing indices. I finally halted it because there wasn't anything happening. I had used Netmon and noticed no traffic going back and forth between the backup server and the target server.
As an experiment, we tried the same thing with Veritas BackupExec. Although it took a couple of hours longer to back up the server (due, we think, to the slower tape drive it was using), it was able to restore the files without any problem. Because of this, our IT director was able to get adminstration to cough up $12K for an Exabyte LTO tape drive. To sum up, we're getting rid of Legato. It's expensive, a PITA to use when wanting to restore a file and their support costs are too high.

I've been sort of leaning toward Legato's backup solution because it offers a single server management console with multi server backups to their local storage devices. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it and NT/2000/Exchange? thanks -- Craig Manske _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
