Backup Exec 12.5 for Windows Servers revision 2213 Hotfix 317436 - 64bit download
Yes as i said before, create a job, and then go back in and edit it. I can tell you that you will find that the stuff you selected to be backed up has disappeared.
Back up software has to be solid. You dont know the arguments I had to get this product in another site that had 20 servers. They had arcserve, they were 2 revs behind, they needed agents on all the servers including exchange and sql. They had a beautiful tape drive lto 3 changer with 24 tapes.
We then figured out what they needed for the upgrade to arcserve, then we figured out what they needed for symantec. Symantec won based on cost, luckily for me the main server is 32bits so i probably wont go through what i did with 64 bit version.
When you think about what a disaster recovery package is, its basically 2 parts,
1) its a database that tells you what was backed up, and allows you to select what you want to restore.
2) its a device mgr that manages the servers and backup devices.
It is ESSENTIAL that this is working solid! It also should be easy to setup. None of the products out there are products are easy.
When i was a Netware Admin for a large company, I used to say "Its not who has the best backup software, its who sucks the least"
Symantec recently sucked the least! til now.... remains to be seen.
