Well, I guess the answer was as obvious as I thought and right along the same lines as I was thinking. &nbsp;Sometimes there are not shortcuts!<br />

Assuming an enterprise environment consisting of perhaps 1K servers, virtual and physical, with primarily Backup Exec software, various versions, but also a mixture of other vendor backup products, what method(s) would or do you use to monitor status of backup success and failure across the network? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We're not looking necessarily for a full control suite, just looking for manageable monitoring capabilities.<br />
<br />
So please, what works for you? &nbsp;I look at this as having no wrong answers, and would appreciate you sharing your experience! &nbsp;Thank you.

Enterprise Backup Monitoring - What methods do you use?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.

Network Operations

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
