It can be d2d or d2t or d2d2t. I run mine to a SAN. The disk can be FC or iSCSI SAN or DAS. TVK

We do a lot of backups to disk and sometimes USB...can you back up to these components or is it only tape, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 10:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Software Question If you are thinking of D2D, running DPM would be less resource intensive than NTBackup. The cost per server is quite low, and it is SQL, Exchange and SharePoint aware. Using VSS you can get 15 minute restore increments instead of hours or days and your users can do their own restores the same way that VSS works. I used it to replace BE and DoubleTake and have been thrilled with it thus far.

What about Exchange, SQL databases? -----Original Message----- From: Benjamin Zachary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 8:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Software Question With the cost of disk being so low these days I have several clients doing D2D backups using ntbackup and taking the firewire/usb drive off site and a few of the medium sized clients are doing wan sync replication to a data center. I know ntbackup isn't the most robust but even with 8-10 servers you have all the agents you need (sql/exchange) and you can auto print reports. -----Original Message----- From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 8:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Software Question I sent my thoughts to you, sorry but never been a big fan of Veritas/Symantec either.

Bob Fronk -----Original Message----- From: Tom Strader [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 8:15 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup Software Question List Members, Symantec Backup Exec (formerly Veritas) is coming due to be renewed this month and I'm just not very happy with its performance this last year. We continually get backup failures on one server stating it has too much activity to be "snapped" when in fact the server has no activity at all. In looking back at past posts, there are several choices. I have setup a poll and would appreciate it if you would take time to answer a couple of questions for me. Keep in mind we do not have a budget at this time to purchase more hardware and limited budget for new software. If a choice is not listed, please type in your choice and submit the poll. It is limited to the first 100 responders and closes at 5:00pm tomorrow. Thanks in advance for your assistance. http://www.polldaddy.com/p/200110/ Tom S.
