[itdiscuss] Backup Software Revisited

[Jason Hand]

No, not at this point.  It is only a file backup software.  You could do an
NTBackup of Exchange and System State and MS SQL has a backup feature
built-in and then just backup those files offsite.

There are many offsite backup companies that have agents for most different
systems but they are much more expensive than S3 with Jungledisk.  If you
have the budget for them then I would certainly go that direction but
otherwise, you can't beat the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of
Jungledisk.

 Does it have an Exchange or SQL client?

You really ought to look at the Amazon S3 with Jungle Disk as an option
for offsite.  It is very inexpensive.  It does bit level changes and I
have it running for a school that has about 150gb of data stored on the
S3 account and uploading changed and new data nightly for about
$35/month.

 

You can look at all of the costs involved and estimate how much your
monthly cost would be on the Jungle disk site:

We have just added space (or are least in process) for disk-to-disk
backups (though probably only for incremental during the week). We will
still probably use Tape and transport it offsite, simply because the
online storage/gb is not cost-effective yet.

Dan, are you planning (wanting?) to stay with tape backup, or would you
consider a remote backup solution?  (or a mixed on-site/off-site
disk-to-disk, or whatever)

I currently us Retrospect from EMC and it works well.  It is especially
good at restoring data.  

 

I'm looking at something called StoreGrid,
http://www.vembu.com/index.php, because it promises to backup data at
the bit level and with its replication server software it gives you the
ability to replicate the backup to an off-site location.  It also
appears to take a less-resource intensive backup of Exchange mailboxes.

I am again revisiting the question of backup software. I have been using
most recently Commvault Galaxy Express, and am finding it significantly
difficult to use. I am looking for something easy to use, reliable, will
be doing disk-to-disk daily and tape on weekends. I also want something
with decent notification abilities; I don't want to have a lot of false
alarms.

 

What do you use and how has it been for you?
