Thanks for the feedback. It certainly looks like your solution is
secure. The only point I am making is that HIPAA is way beyond most
security requirements. In addition, the penalties can be draconian. They
can (and have) sent small agencies (like the no-profit Hospice I
support) out of business.

Hank,
We are under the same constraints plus others and the application has
been completely approved; we have never had an auditor complaint or
other recommendation. Also we have been using it since it's
introduction (I think over 10 years) and have never had a security
related issue.
The data is stored on a "cloud" as is everything these days (may go by
other names but is affectively the same) but it is not publicly
available and is located deep underground in a very secure site, Iron
Mountain. There are other backup services accessible on semi public
clouds, by way of the internet as you know, but for this one an
installed agent is the only way to connect and all connections are very
secure. I am not selling Connected and it is not perfect, other than
its security record.
For server/data center backups we do have an in-house system for
quicker file restoration and other reasons I cannot discus in this
forum.
Please forgive any typos I am writing this on an iPad onscreen keypad.
Michael...
PS I work for a very large insurance company with thousands of
end-points so we have a lot of experience with security issues and
desktop security/patch management is my primary job.

Autonomy Connected is what we use. There is no need to wait for a
system to connect to the domain since the backup can also be done via
a secure internet connection.

DLO is now altogether a separate product. Earlier it was clubbed
with Backup Exec & the feature which you are talking about is there
in DLO. We are using DLO 7.0 whereas latest is 7.5

Subject: [NTSysADM] Alternative to Symantec Desktop-Laptop-Option
(DLO)
Just curious if anyone is using alternatives to Symantec Backup
Exec's DLO option (desktop/laptop option). Basically it provides a
mechanism for backing up user laptops when the person comes back
on-site and plugs into the corporate network, it will start to
backup/sync their Documents folders, Desktop folders, etc.
automatically to a local network share without user interaction. I
have a customer that is using it on Backup Exec 2010, but Backup
Exec 2012 has gotten rid of the DLO option from what I understand.
These are the kind of users that will never choose to, or remember
to, backup their files to a network share or home folder or run
manual backups with an external USB on their own, but they'll be the
first to complain when their laptop dies and their data is lost.
Curious as to other alternatives out there for mobile users to
-automate- backing up their files when they come back to the office.
DLO was decent, but...
Thanks
J
