Searching to Different Backup Software
Hi.
We've been using BackupExec for 10-12 years. I've had it with their licensing department, and am searching for another software to move to. Our requirements ( that I can think of ) include:
unlimited backup to hard drives on other PC's
unlimited backup to tape from multiple servers on one segment
work with tape libraries
Good Support ( which Symantec/Veritas has usually )
Any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Paul

you need license for license for below
1 - one license required to manage backups and restores
2- need to get license for number of agents( remote servers ) you want to backup
this agent uses push technology and throughput will be better compare to network backups, however if you have dedicated network or 1GB network you dont have to purchase this option.
3 - open file agent or OFA license is seperate
4 - You dont need any license to backup do disk however if you want to use more number of streams you need to, by default you can use 2 streams and this is enough to give you good throughput.
hope this helps

backup to hard drive drives
? We took a look at Yosemite a year ago but found they feel backups to hard drive are ... sacred? and charge separately and steeply for that.
