Backup Exec System Recovery Management Solution 2010 problems:
I have been a loyal Symantec Partner for years. In the past I have had excellent results with both BEWS 12.5 and BESR 8.5 and I would highly recommend these products!
This all changed when I migrated from BESR 8.5 to BESR-MS 2010. BESR-MS 2010 appears to have been designed to manage very large environments. My environment is small, consisting of 5 Windows Servers, 10 XP Pro and 10 Vista Bus workstations. Currently I have spent more than 200 hours of determined and dogged effort trying to get BESR-MS 2010 to work in this small environment. It almost works, but not reliably. I have attached an external USB drive to 10 workstations. I have created a separate backup policy for each of these workstations and have applied this policy to a single workstation. Since these workstations are writing backup data to the locally attached USB drive I have scheduled all of these workstations to backup at 8:00 PM and I have set the, “Distribute strategy randomly across (minutes)” to zero. However, backups attempt to run at random and multiple times throughout the day.
At this point I am totally exasperated! Is BESR-MS 2010 full of bugs, or am I just not understanding something? Please Symantec; I am a Symantec fan and steadfast Partner.
If I am to compete against ArcServ I need help! A training video explaining top-level implementation concepts would be infinitely helpful!
