FWIW we uesd Veritas for years. Lots of different sites, setups; all horrible. On not one site did we get regular clean backups. Switched to Arcserve, all problems vanished:).

I use NTBackup to backup everything here. File servers, sql servers, mysql, ad, even exchange. Veritas support is great until they change versions. Then you will get one standard answer from them "You need to upgrade". Upgrades can get expensive.

Backups failing all over...just a PITA. I would stay far far away from it. On a whim we installed Backup Exec to try to get a good backup, almost overnight our problems vanished and Veritas' tech support is superior. _____ Brian Claus, MCP, Network+, A+ Network Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc. 225 West Station Square Drive, Suite 700 Pittsburgh, PA 15219-1122 Phone: 412-454-2412 Fax: 412-454-2540 bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bclaus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> _____ -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Greg Reese Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:31 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: Anyone with experience using ArcServe v9 client agent Don't hold back Brian.

My feedback is to drop that POS software immediately and use Veritas. ArcServe sucks and their support staff barely speaks English. -----Original Message----- From: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of ecrabtree@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:19 AM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Anyone with experience using ArcServe v9 client agent Anyone using the ArcServe v9 client agent on MF XP FR3 / Windows 2000 servers?
