OK I have done some research into this so I'm not just shooting of a
random question without doing any research of my own.
But I would like some more input.
And hopefully somebody can prove me wrong on one or two points.
This is our requirments.
A solution that supports multiple platforms.
Windows NT/2000 , Linux
Has a nice GUI for doing restores and preferable backups as well.
The GUI should be able to be run on Windows/Web.
Easily increase the space we are backing up onto.
Full/Incramental backups.
Does backups onto disk as apposed to tapes.
This app will have to be used by windows people with little to no Linux
experience therefor the need for a nice GUI.
These are the solutions I have looked at including the proc and cons as
far as I see them.
ARCserve:
PROS: We already use it/have licenses, works with all the clients we
need.
CONS: Only backups to tapes.
BRUpro:
PROS: Works with the clients we need, has a web interface.
CONS: Only backups to tapes.
Arkeia:
PROS: Works with all our clients, can backup to disk, GUI
CONS: No experience.
SAMBA(our own cobled together solution)
PROS: Some experience, open-source
CONS: everything to be backuped needs to be shared, no GUI, you lose NT
permissions.
Amanda:
PROS: open-source
CONS: Same as SAMBA.
If anybody can help I would be grateful.
