once again I have to bleed it here.
my all loveble arcserve keeps f*'ing around.

this time have needed to apply all the fixes there is to the bloody arcserve 2000.

get a job to start and then once it starts to write the shit crashes.

so, if you anyone there in the world are thinking about buying that ----, think twice, and once more.

Yah.. Just try this with SQL Server.. Nasty. Again the internal Microsoft util works just fine.

I know how you feel Lonkero.

Stupid me, took on the roll of backups because I knew a bit about ArcServe. Put it this way, in my interview for my next job, I will be asking what they use and if its ArcServe I will say no thank you.

I have just totally uninstalled and reinstalled ArcServe coz one of my jobs kept hanging. SP4 for ArcServe applies more bugs than fixes I feel and their support website is one of the worst on the web. [Mad]

All I can say is I can't wait til we move to Tivoli Storage Manager. My headaches will be over ! [Smile]

Cheers,
Grasshopper75

yeah.
today will move the largest tapelibrary behind a w2k server (nt has no RSM) to get my backups fully automated.

seems actually that we finally found something that really saves money, is speedy, is trustable, is easy to use...
and is M$ soft [Wink]

wonderfull.

Have you heard ever about UltraBac ?

Small (int 13h extensions available) , quite reliable, excellent Disaster Recovery, quite expensive [Eek!]

We use it here actually

the money is the starting point.
I want to show that there is a reason why I've been hired [Wink]

also, when using NTbackup with at, my boss can't do the control and maintenance thus it binds me more on to the payroll [Razz]

Agreed DR S***S, but we use it with Ghost:

DR needed???

1. Restore Ghost image with AS agent
2. Use restore

Talkingbout Disaster Recovery?
Does ArcServe handles this esasily cause veritas takes about 200 steps...any experience to tell?

I had read the instructions and ended up using a bootable cd with a Dr file and the media tape to run recovery from remote server.
