RESOLVE QUESTION Backup exec

[Marduk]

Hi I wonder if someone can answer these questions

• BE for Desktops have the option for the customer to autonomously carry out recovery of the backup from your computer?

• Can be programmed so that if some customers on your computer there local changes on your computer are backed up immediately?

• What is the bandwidth consumption average has a back of a station?

Yes, point no. 1 and 2 can be achieved by using Backup Exec Desktop and Laptop Option (for versions 2010 R3 and earlier) which is now an independant product called Symantec Desktop and Laptop Option version 7

didn't quit get the third question!

With regards to the bandwidth, that's a "how long is a piece of string?" question. How much data is being backed up on each client? How fast are your networks (LAN/WAN)? What size files are being backed up?

That's something that can't quite be estimated due to the nature of your data...you can set different times and settings on how the backups run, what times, and what files get backed up. Obviously leave off illegal files like MP3s, movies etc which will keep the amount of data being backed up down quite a bit!

according're absolutely right, we need a third program to see the consumption. Now, please can you help me with this question.

Have a client who has 180 client computers to back up. BUT THE CUSTOMER WANTS AND LAPTOP SUPPORT OFFICES, BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE DOMINION. ONLY WORKGROUP.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

The DLO server & storage has to be part of a domain (requirement for DLO), however the desktops/laptops themselves can be part of a workgroup..

...using CAPS equates to screaming on a forum...don't use them!

180 client computers anyway in a workgroup is a mission...use a domain if possible, and I am sure someone in a Microsoft forum would also advise this...
