Backup4all Forum

Hi

We are looking for some software to backup approximately 250 of data form one of file cluster( windows 2003 64bit) from production network to one of server in staging network setup which has enough free space on 2 drives. We have maaped an nbt share to use this backup space.
we had been using nt backup till however ntbackup fails while verifying the weekly full backup set .

i have few queries regarging backup4all

what volume of data has been tested to backup with backup4all and verification ?
will it take system state backup ?

In addition I would like know, when I chosoe to limit the number of backup counts(using destination backup as FTP), which backup4all log file has entries on updates about deleting old backup sets.
While testing i found that old backup set was deleted but i couldnt locate entries in log file.

Hi,

We tested Backup4all with hundreds of GB but we also have clients backing up over 1 TB of files using Backup4all.

Please note Backup4all will not back up the system state as it was designed for data files backup.

thanks,

however i would like to know if this software can be installed onto filecluster and how to set it up? so as we can backup dat from san drives.
