ArcServe2000 Backup / Recovery Issues?

[j0rdan]

Hi there, I managed to get a copy of ArcSERVE2000 workstation edition, the back-up programs looks pretty user-friendly, just a question here. Has anyone had extreme problems doing a disaster recovery or file restore off a travan tape drive?

Please leave your experiences with Arcserve2000!

Travans are extremely SLOW!!! That's the only problem I've had with restores.

Thanks,

Yeah, ive noticed, it takes like almost 2 hours to do 4 gigs total, very slow if you ask me.... anyways have you tried restoring information from the tapes? or even a full os with ARCserve2000? aswell, how can I view the files that I've backed up on the tape?

Regards,

Restored data, drive, and OS from two different travan drives. Only problem I ever had was a tape with a media error.

With travan ever so often you need to retention the tape. QIC02 and travan are the only drives that need to be retentioned.

Use the database session view to see what is on tape.
