Just to keep everyone posted.
We have finished testing a backup routine from www.Evault.com over the
internet. My concern was the restore, since UV has its own way of handling
files. But everything worked great. Here are some of the facts.
We are running an IBM RS6000 with AIX 4.3 and UV 9.6. EVault has an agent that
runs on AIX. They also support Windows, NT Server and Exchange.
We started the initial seed backup on Sat at 2:00am, after our tape backup, by
10:30am Sat (8.5hours) the 6.7GB of our production account were copied over to
a server in Philadelphia (we are in California). Each subsequent day only the
block level file changes were backed up, which was 823MB and that took about 1
hours and 15 minutes. The restore of the complete 6.7GB took 7+ hours to
complete (Validating the 1GB per hour transmit speed on a T1 line). I logged
into the restore account and everything was normal.
There is a nice interface that allows you to schedule backups, include or
exclude directories(files) and show what is in current "storage" on EVault. The
windows interface interacts with the AIX EVault agent. And the restore works
just as slick. And it is available 24x7 from what ever PC you loaded the
interface.
So if anyone is looking to augment their disaster recovery backups, for us this
beats physical off-site tape storage (courier, media, schedule pickup for
restore.....etc...). And very reasonably priced.
