Right, so you beleive that CA didn't drop the ball and release a version of Arcserve that didn't work properly on SBS 2003?
You live in a fantasy world, I even helped support fix the problem, by being their guniee pig and helping them resolve the issue, I could produce an email audit trail to prove this if I so desired!
Not to mention that the document level / brick lever agent corrupted public folder calendars and contact lists and when restored brought them back as email items instead of contacts / calendars.
Hmm, I don't think it is my company that is at risk, but yours if you were not even aware of or found these serious bugs and problems in the CA software at the time they occured
What about the tape log file that has default settings that don't purge or are not set to a reasonable size limit and so grew to more than 1GB in size for a text file (lucky I noticed!), perhaps you better go check!
OK the upgrade went smoothly this time from V12.5 to v15 (except for the tape log issue!) And it still required SQL Express 2008 to be installed.
Also are you also trying to tell me when you ring support from the UK you are not put though to Bangalore and find it difficult to hold a conversation?
Yeah I guess i'm making it all up and i'm just an idiot that doesn't know what I'm doing!

- hey I don't mind, I got tougher skin than that ;-)
Anyway I know i'm an idiot , I have a certificate to prove it it's called Dyspraxia, your not discriminator against disabled people are you ;-)
But I didn't come here to have to justify myself, I know the facts, I've been doing this for long enough!
I asked for AV recommendations, guess some prefer to shoot people down for there choices, experiences and opinions
I was only suggesting it because you were already using ArcServe.
and it's appreciated, but for the reasons I mentioned I won't use them for A/V, but I still valued your input!
I would ask though :- have you been using CA Brightstor Arcserve Backup since 2003 v10 on Small Business Server 2003?
Anyways, I actualy came back to give feedback since having had my Panda Security demo / trial and let you know how impressive it was.
It runs as SaaS, so no clunkly installation on the server or upgrades that don't work, or requirments for SQL be it MSDE/Express or anything else.
If the stats are correct they are right up there as one of the top AV providers, though any statistic should be take with a pinch of salt right!
On a side note another reason to steer well clear of Sophos, is they have just refused to refund the outstanding years licences fees.
Not only does their software not work, their support is abismal and their cutomer service, but they are also thieves.
This company is most certainly not reputable and whoa betide any of you that use them and do end up with a problem wanting a refund!
Sophos are a disgrace!
I got my AVG pro-rata refund when it crashed our server, and Panda assured me they would never behave in this manner should the unlikely case be they did not deliver the product and service for which we had paid.
But talk is cheap when sales people are after your money, it's another kettle of fish when you want it back!
