I agree, in 4 short years Symantec ruined the product, incompetent support,
the product 2012 version was bastardized. Seagate 1998 and Veritas 2002 were
superb. Under symantec is a joke, they now intend to rollback or revert the
current 2012 version back to a 2010 GUI, the downfall of this product
started when Symantec acquired.

Not a big fan of the Backup Exec/NetBackup products from Symantec for a host
of reasons. I spent a fair amount of time about 2 years ago evaluating 12+
backup solutions and concluded that the Simpana software from CommVault was
the best. However, having said that, I would hardly consider it "easy" to
use. It is reliable, configurable and their support (so far) has been very
good. I will say that a drawback to the software is that it leans on the
expensive side.

Hello All,

We are using Linux, Mac, Solaris and Windows in our network and OS Lab.
Please suggest me a software/product(that also includes hardware) to take OS
level backup of all the above mentioned OS. I am open for freeware as well
as propreitory solution.

I require following things to be automated:

a) Incremental/complete backup of OS and its content. I believe it should be
an image based just like Xenserver but i cant install xenserver as bare
metal here cause these servers are important and running in production
environment.

b) Automated backup and alert after backup completion or any problem while
taking backup

c) Easy to use GUI and very quick configuration fields.

d) Restoring should also be equally easy.

I have checked internet and have found Bacula as possible solution but i am
not sure if it takes OS level backup as i have mentioned above or not.

Seeking your help and advise.

Regards,
AB
