Guest MarcusB Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 We are looking for backup solution for Clients (workstations) on our network. We was trying Symantec Backup Exec DLO option but it is to slow, and to complicated. We need software with client agents. We want that backup will be stored on the network drive (share) and it will be possible to recover files from backup without any program just copy the wanted file back to the workstation. The problem with Symantec is that if the whole Syamntec will crash you are not able to recover the backup data. What software will meet our expectations? MArcusB

No agent. But does everything else you want. Including being able to restore to any machine without even loading the program. Just copy back. -Frank
Guest MarcusB Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Re: What client backup software We need something managed centrally. We have 200 clients we would like to backup. So far we was using script with robocopy but than we do not have control if the scipt run or not.

Guest Frankster Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Re: What client backup software The program need only be installed on one computer to manage backups to/from anywhere on the LAN. Or, do you mean with remote connections to manage backups from any machine? I looked at most of the "big dogs" (i.e. $400-$1000 programs) available and found that this one worked best for many things regardless of its low price (~$50.00). It does NOT do tapes, however. -Frank "MarcusB" <marcusb@llunet.se> wrote in message news:uxOVFSJwIHA.1768@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > We need something managed centrally.
