Info about backup suftware to be used with 1/8 SDLT 320

[CA1110172]

Hi,
I'm evaluating a back-up sistem. I'm looking at an autoloader system and I'm thinking to move to 1/8 SDLT 320.

I'm wandering which is the compatibility list of back up SWs.

Could anyone let me know wich back up SW runs on this store system?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a single SDLT320 running on Win2K and Veritas BackupExec and it works. I think the autoloader system will do, too. Computer Associates' ArcserveIT should also work with this machine.

Hi,


-Tapeware: price wise, (advantage: full windows server and workstation support)

-BackupExec: reliability and support are ok
(advantage: if your technical minded person, this fits for you. High performance in terms of database and messanging backup)

-Brightstor: reliability and support seems ok (but you have to pay for it)
(advantage:ARCserve places no limit on the number of tape drives used and supports an autoloader, good predefined backup strategies and tape rotation management)

-Other software such as Netvault and Legato
and can also be consider.

Hope this helps,

Probably you already have in the box DataProtector 5, it was bundled with several autoloader

There are many backup apps supported with the 1/8 320.

Look in the EBS compatability matrix:
ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/storageworks/techdoc/ebs/EBSMatrix-0304.pdf

If you are running win2k (for example), the list would be:
HP Data Protector
CA BrightStor ArcServe
CA BrightStor EB
CommVault Galaxy
Legato Networker
Syncsort Backup Express
Veritas Backup Exec
Veritas NetBackup
and windows native backup

I'm going to run Win2003 server.

Since your dealing with 2003, I suggest you
choose a backup software that will able you to:

-bakup specific slot (random).>>this will help you even a particular harware only designed as sequential device<<
-equiped with slots partitioning.>> it can divide your backup set into a dedicated slot assigned<<
-utilized and integrate to windows 2003 storage sys.
-support "on-line" backup for any major database, files, and messanging system.
