Hi list,
I would like to hear comments about commercial Linux Backup Solutions (for
a mixed Linux/Windows network).
After a quick search of the web I found three main candidates:
- Arkeia (by Know) www.arkeia.com
- Backup Professional (by Unitrends) www.unitrends.com
- NovaNet 8 (by NovaStor) www.network-backup.com
BRU falls out because it doesn't seem to have a native Windows client,
same for amanda (also amanda is really not user friendly). SMB is the
thinkable worst tool to backup open files or the registry (as keys).
Important aspects for me:
- Reliable (doesn't get stuck by missing clients
- User friendly (so that also the non-sysadmin can go and restore some
files), meaning having a nice GUI with file and backuped-files browser
where you can choose the 5 day old version of your file and click a button
and it gets restored.
- Easy to install and manage
- Easy to migrate to another computer
- Native Client support (Win9x, WinNT, Win2K)
- Extensive scripting support (run stuff before/after backup, wait with
backup if neccessary etc.)
I would most of all like to hear from people who actually use(d) or
try(d) one or several of the products and can give me a hands-on
experience report.
Thanks a lot,
Schlomo
