RE: Backup software; Legato vs. Veritas?



VERITAS isn't even close to being out of business.  Have you seen their
performance over the last 2 years?  May not make you rich in a week but will
over a long term investment.  Don't get me wrong, they're no QCOM!

VRTS Products: I have used almost all of them.  Support, oh they know it
sucks, they've been focusing on it for quite some time and over the past few
months I have noticed I have received much more competency and promptness.
Legato support sucks too, I have used both Vanguard and Legato... for that
matter, I can't say any support system I have used has ever impressed me.
My advice would also be to look at ease of maintenance, how many people will
be admins on this backup server.  

I would also recommend that you look at what standards you want to follow
for offsites, cloning, recycling, etc.  I always try to remember that humans
make software, humans are not flawless so therefore software will never be
flawless.

We can't all be dissatisfied customers ;-).

For the most part it worked well, but I feel that it should be flawless for
the amount we paid. Glad to know someone had good experiences. I presume
most
customers do or they'd be out of business :).
