Hello Jason,

What are you using? We use Symantec BackupExec, but it's not that cheap,
of all the different licensing options. Depends what you need to backup and
ofocurse your budget.

Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server

Hi,

I use CA ARCserve version 12 to backup 3 servers (one is Exchange) to a
single LTO-4 tape drive and it works great.

It has an excellent backup-to-disk-to tape option and the technical support
is very good, even though it is from Asia (India?).

Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server

I have been using ArcServe since 1996 and the key feature is I perform
successful backups; file level, Exchange db, and sql dbs.

Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server

Hi,

I've been using ArcServe since 1991 on Netware ! ;-) At that time it was the
only enterprise-grade backup software available.

Re: What the best backup for windows 2003 Server

Hi All

Do you need a agent to backup exchange?

Hi,

Yes, same for Notes, SQL, Oracle, etc. You even need an agent to backup a
remote file server.

Whatever package you use, backing up databases like Exchange and SQL
"live" or files on a remote server, will require additional agents that
eh vendor will be more than willing to sell you... ;-)

There is another option, one that we use. Our tape backup program
(BackupExec) and the tape drive are on our primary file server.

On our Exchange server, we use NTBACKUP to back up the database (and
remove transaction log files) to a *.BAK file on the file server.

Our SQL database has SQL Server Agent jobs that back up our medical
databases. I have a scheduled task that copies these files to our file
server.

I use this combination of tasks to get all out critical date stored on a
single server. The tape backup file then backs everything to tape.
