Noj replied to Graycat's discussion Getting the message out ...."True, but when we're also working 50+ hour weeks we don't have the time and or motivation to blog about it, and when we do sometimes we just want to let loose had have a complain/rant about stuff that our clients possibly shouldn't…"
Noj replied to Noj's discussion Backup systems, HW & SW"none of the sites I visit are large enough to worry about having an auto-loader, to me that sounds like adding yet another point of failure.

Graycat replied to Noj's discussion Backup systems, HW & SW"At the moment we're in a state of flux whilst we implement SANs on two sites and move some of our key servers over to a virtual platform but historically we've been pretty happy with BE and tapes.

Noj replied to Noj's discussion Backup systems, HW & SW"Ah! an alert eh? now that I've gone looking for it, yes I see it. should probably set that up so it sends an email notification.

What do you lot use to backup your servers etc.Most the places I visit use symantec backup exec and tape drives.I hate tapedrives, detest them, I've replaced nearly 10 of the things in the last year.I'm not overly fond of backup exec either, it seems to be to be overly complex, and when things go wrong with a backup it's not always easy to tell what the problem is.other sites use RDX cartages, which I like better than tapedrives, but these can run into problems with the backup software not…See More
