I have been a loyal Backup Exec user for years, but NO MORE. After upgrading to the new 11d version, and losing the ability to back anything up, and after placing a priority critical support call over 28 hours ago with no response, I give up. I am currently looking for a different product to replace Backup Exec (unfortunately), since the current pack of losers cannot make a phone call to solve a priority issue for a paying customer.
Symantec...if you guys actually read these posts, take this to heart and read some of the other opinions here. I have used Backup Exec since the version 6-7 days, and have always had great results. I have never in my years of experience had an experience like I have NOT had with you guys. No return calls after placing an urgent issue, even though I was told I would be getting a call back in 'no more than 2 hours'. This was early yesterday, and nobody has called. Not even a mail message or anything stating you acknowledge there is an issue you need to respond to, but are either too busy or too understaffed to attend to.
From the other posts here, it seems it's probably just as well I did not speak to anyone, because from other posts, it appears that your technicians don't know what's up anyway.
I removed the new version, and re-installed the older, reliable Veritas version that I know works. There I'll stay until I find another alternative that does not have Symantec on the label. I will be telling everybody I know about this, and I hope Symantec will actually react to the serious predicament they have placed many people in with this new piece of garbage.
