Daniel, I've used both. I haven't really been pleased with either, but IMHO Veritas Backup Exec is a "little" better if for nothing else than from a support perspective. I believe CA received the "worst support" W2K News Target award this year for good reason. I am currently using BENT 8.6 with Exchange, SQL and Drive Library options. Neither BENT or ArcServeIT seemed 100% reliable , so it was a choice of the lesser of two evils. For example, BENT will fail to connect to my Exchange server about 1 day a week (seemingly random intervals).

Ed. w/ T.L.O. that I use for my backups. I'm either going to upgrade to ArcServeIT 2K or maybe switch over to Veritas Backup Exec. I haven't used Backup Exec since they were bought out years ago. I hear some of you slam ArcServeIT, why? I've had pretty good luck with ASIT but if one it better, I have no problem switching. What options, benefits does it have/not have when comparing it to ASIT. I don't want to hear alot of noise or crap like that. If you have experience with either or both please respond, if not, keep your thoughts to yourself. This list has enough crap on it already.
