Yep, I am running it as a second backup tool next to Tivoli for Demo's
(of Fastback) and to get the data outside every night without having to
be or pass by the office.
It's a nice product, it does what it say's it does, the interface could
use some tuning, some icons are really small and the tiniest differences
inside of these icons can indicate certain error states or activities
that are currently running....a little fiddly but that all.
It's really simple to get going and configure, within minutes it's all
done, the client is just a dream to configure, all you do is point it to
the server and that's it! :)
All configuration is done on the server but even that is very limited,
you can't exclude data, you either backup the partition/disk or you
don't, the policies are extremely simplistic but are all you need for
what the product does.
It just works, makes me wonder why all software can't be this simple and
just work.
Exchange single item restore support runs thru Outlook, that's a little
odd at first but it works nicely and IBM has made that interface better
it seems going from 5.5.0.0 to 5.5.1.0.
I am pleased with the product except for one issue...we need Windows
2008 support and we need it fast! :)
Any questions about fastback, just post it here, I will try to answer
them as good as I can.

FastBack
There's no evaluation provided. List is USD1030.90 for 10 PVU of the
basic product with exchange brick-level and bare-metal. It's the former
"FilesX" product.
We're torn between implementing it and waiting for the native
brick-level exchange restores in TSM 6.
Every Thursday this month at 15:30 UTC there's a demo. I understand
this to be publically-available information, so I'll drop the
information here. The next demo starts in half an hour. If this post
causes a big flood and they have to limit participants, I imagine they
might archive a demo and/or put on more of them.

Subject: [ADSM-L] anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack
Hello all,
Is anyone currently using or evaluating TSM FastBack? Was this an
in-house (IBM) software or was it bought and adapted for TSM use -
kind of like the AvePoint software for MS SharePoint? I hadn't heard of
it before, but figured someone out there may have gotten their fingers
into it.
thanks!
