Backup Software for NT/Exchange

In My Humble Opinion
1

Anyone have any thoughts or opinions on a good backup solution for a small NT 4.0 network. It’s just a file server, around 7 GB of data that needs to be backed up. We also have a seperate exchange server, only 10 users, no public folders or anything.

I’d like to backup both from the same tape drive.

I’m looking for something simple and cost effective. We don’t have any special needs or requirements. Just simple exchange and file servers, no SQL or Oracle databases are used.

I tried Veritas and Novanet. I’m looking to get as many 30 or 60 day evaluations as I can before purchasing one.

I’ve had experience with BackupExec and ArcServe. I prefer BackupExec; it’s simple, easy to use, and is generally good enough for smaller networks.

BackupExec! Do it! Buy Remote Storage for Exchange, too! And Storage Migrator!

(I’m a little biased. Please take my input with a grain of salt!)
