I need recomend. for entire workflow backup...

[foler_foler]

Hello...

We have 30 PC XP workstations and one big server for backup this workstations. I need product for auto-backup this WSs to this server.

1. Is Backup Exec right product for us or we need different product?
2. Do I can use "Wake on Lan" option with backup exec for autostart ws (we have static ip adress)? WS is Dell 690 with support for WOL.

Any sugastion is welcome.

Hello,



-- Could you elaborate more on "need product for auto-backup this WSs to this server."


-- what do you actually mean here?



Thank You,

You could look to roll out Backup Exec Destop and Laptop Option (DLO) to these workstations/PCs.

Not sure about the Wake On Lan feature though, I believe you'll need to ensure the PCs remain on.

DLO is one option, though I was under the impression that it's of more use for a sort of continuous backup, rather than routine backups. I've never looked in to it that much.
If overnight backups are what you want, then you can use remote agents on XP workstations without any additional licensing requirements (I think).
Wake On Lan isn't implemented in BE, but if you are using static IP addresses, then if you can find a script to wake the workstations, you could set this up as a pre-command to be fired off before the backup starts.
