We have used Symantec's BackupExec (Veritas) in several locations but have standardized on IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM). Not a fan of IBM, but it works, and it works well. Be prepared to drop some serious coin, though. We currently use it to do tape backups for over 800+ servers (Linux, AIX, Windows).

We use Barracuda Yosemite backup with about 10 locations all over the world, using disk to disk (single disks via esata and to SANs) and disk to tape (both libraries and single drives). Very rarely do we have issues. Barracuda support isn't as good as Yosemite's (Barracuda bought them) but still not bad. Also, the site wide license is a steal! Get a demo, it might fit the bill. --Thomas York On May 17, 2012 6:59 PM, "Mike Lyon" <mike.lyon () gmail com> wrote:We used Acronis and it was a nightmare as was their off-shored support model. Never again... Wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Switched to Iron Mountain LiveVault which backs everything up over the wire. It has basic reporting functions but not extremely granular. http://ironmountain.com/services/democenter/livevault/player.html Barracuda also seems to have a nice product. Though, i've never used it: http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/products/backup_overview.php -Mike On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 3:53 PM, Paul Stewart <paul () paulstewart org> wrote:Hey folks. I'm hoping for some input from operational folks on backup solutions for servers. We are looking for a commercial backup solution with a nice reporting dashboard etc. It must support full/incremental backups on Windows and various flavorsofLinux. We would also be looking for bare metal image/recovery abilities. To date, we've been fond of Acronis until we got the quote for it .. Initially we would be looking at 50-80 servers and growing it up fromthereto probably 150-200 boxes. Some of these servers are geographically dispersed. At the moment we have been using Bacula but it lacks bare metal optionsanddoesn't have any nice reporting options (Executive Dashboard etc) Thanks for any input, Paul-- Mike Lyon 408-621-4826 mike.lyon () gmail com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mlyon
