[dba-Tech] Symantec Backup Exec

Hi Janet:

Does not your SBS have a fine backup system built in? The Symantec backup
would have to have a lot of features to make it worth it. We have been doing
some experimenting with LogMeIn remote and offsite backup and it looks
really good. Here is a review of the product:

In the office we backup to portable drives and then take them off site.

On another aside, at a client's site, that is using SBS 2008, we have been
working to get it performance up but the only success we have had is by
maxing out the RAM... 16GB and it is finally up to a good trot.

We've gotten a server upgrade quote from a local consultant who is
recommending that we switch to Symantec's Backup Exec 2010 for backing up
our SBS 2008.  Do any of you have any experience with this product?  Is it
good?  Bad? Ugly?
