How was the reporting? If you needed to restore a single file from a backup job that used multiple tapes, was it smart enough to know which tape the file was on?
$1,500 for an unlimited site license sounds too good to be true, and you know what they say about that kind of thing. Wondering if it would be able to handle our 10TB weekly fulls, and our disk-disk-tape rotations. >>> Ben Scott <[email protected]> 11/18/2010 3:29 PM >>> On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 6:16 PM, Joseph Heaton <[email protected]> wrote: > Anyone have any experience with this product? > Doing some research now, but thought I'd ask for > personal experiences. It used be called TapeWare. Also sold re-badged as NovaNet. A few major revisions and several years ago, I used to recommend it, as it was much cheaper than Backup Exec but also had some unique capabilities. I'm no longer in that job and I haven't really kept up with either product, so my experience is outdated. That said: It could run on Windows, NetWare (told you my experience was outdated!), and Linux. Had agents for Exchange, MS-SQL, others. Had a full user account system and centralized database years before Backup Exec even considered the concept. It treated everything as an object in the same tree, which was a little different but made sense. Made it easier, e.g., to see which backup dates were available for a given file. Ran it on some small sites, and one shop that had a 14 tape changer. No significant trouble at most sites. Had trouble with the changer but support helped us out. Quality of support was okay; wasn't the best I've ever had but wasn't bad. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
