What's about Vision Backup 10?

| Hello
For years we used ArcServe to backup our 3 NT- and Windows 2003 Servers.
Now we bought a new Tandberg LTO StorageLoader (1 drive, 8 slots).
ArcServe has big problems with it...
Now I'm testing several backup tools.
the main problem is: they are very expensive (ok, I know;-) data security is
not cheap)
But now, I've just found Backup Vision 10 which looks very nice.
What do you think? Is it only usable in a private small environment or is it
ok to backup a Windows 2003-server?
(the 2 other servers are Windows NT 4 and it's not needed to backup them
completly. Only the data-directories are backed up)
Thanks a lot.
Daniel

| Take a look at DoubleSafety (http://www.doublesafety.com). It have an
easy-to-use GUI and its price is very low ($35).

There isnt any point about ability to backup operating-system at all - no
systemstate save or open files support.

HUH?? Backup Exec 10d does support system state backups on W2k and higher
systems. It also has an open file technology.
NT 4.0 does not have support for System State, only Windows 2000 and higher
systems as well as XP support that option. It was not available in NT 4.0.

Ok, after re-reading it a couple more times, I think I understand the reply
now.
With the built-in backup program in Windows 2003, you do get the ability to
backup the local machine and System State, but no open file technology, or
support for application backups like Exchange, SQL, etc. You also can not do
remote backups with the built-in solution like you can with BE.
Backup Exec does give you the ability to do all this and more and is fine
for a small-medium sized network.

| thanks a lot!
For the moment I have other problems;-)
Like
SCSI Bus errors
every 10mins a message for tape cleaning
on restoring a message that the block size is false
and so on...
ArcServe reported many errors, but they are not really clearly formulated
BackupExec is much better here.
Now I'm using True Image for this time when our tape doesn't work.
But I think I will change from ArcServe to BackupExec.
Thanks
Daniel
