You can go to the Recover tab and drill down to the actual file level and see exactly what is there without having to put it back. BE may have that capability now, but it didn't back when I switched to DPM. TVK

You still have to push back to test right?

Very simple to set up (although the DPM to DPM config can be a bit confusing at first) and it just works. It makes it very easy to verify backups also, which was one of the things I always hated about BE. TVK From: Brumbaugh, Luke [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 9:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup Software Guys, I am really hating backupexec. I have done many DR tests and have used these backups to more servers to different hardware. But it is a constant fight to make sure that the backups complete successfully. The latest thing is that on all DCs in the sysvol it will not backup the Do_Not_Delete... directory. Constant email db failures. Etc. My boss and I have looked at Commvault, but haven't heard anything except from salesman and salesman pointed to customers. Then there is Microsoft system center data protection manager 2007. Anybody have any luck with a backup software? Luke L.
