I've been a Backup Exec bigot for years. The last time I used ArcServe was on a Novell 3.12 server, so I'm not fully up to date on it.
As for the Veritas line, the best way to describe why I like it to say that it "thinks" the same way I do. Most operations are pretty intuitive and their support is very good, in my opinion. Also, the Intelligent Disaster Recovery and the Exchange Agent are solid. I've had occasion to recover from total hard drive failures, twice, and have had to restore several deleted Exchange mailboxes, all worked as advertised. I have the SQL agent, but never had to test it. rod -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 1:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: ArcServeIT vs. Backup Exec I currently have ArcServeIT 6.61 Ent. 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.
