[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] network file backup

wingo@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM (Dave Wingo) (10/03/90)

Does anyone know of a network based (TCP/IP) file system back-up/restore 
product that is currently available for UNIX 5.3 or 5.4. How about one that
would also be available on OS/2 based systems.....

We are very interested in this type of product....

Thanks in advance for your help.....

I think Legato, or some company with a similar name, has such a
product.  I don't see the ad in Sun Tech Journal that I think might
have been the last issue.

My opinions, of course.  And don't hold me to them.

We here use a very nive networked backup system called
"budtool(BackUp Daemon Tool) from Delta Microsystems in
Livermore Calif. Their phone is (415) 449-6881.

We do nightly -0- backups of 10 Gbytes of machines. Without
a hitch.

Has an incredibly felxible timing mechanism, history mechanisms,
scheduling tools, labeling tools, tape testing tools, and is
affordable.

We've got no releationship with them, than a very satisfied
customer<->vendor relationship. They have always answered calls
promptly, provided bug fixes promptly, and are generally very
nice folks.

The Legato Networker was evaluated here. We already had too
much invested in Delta Micro's solution to justify using it.
