I live in Memphis. Our corporate office in New Jersey uses it extensively
for backing up their VMS systems. That is about all I know at their site.
I have tried to evaluate it here. I have mixed results. On the whole it
seemed to work very well and was easy to configure. I have two problems.
The first and major one is I have a disk with zillions of little files on
it. The application people are using WordPerfect (yes you heard right) and
the files are keep on this disk. I hate to even do any directory searches
on this disk. This disk took 15 hours to do the initial backup. I assume
that a restore would take at least that long. An incremental takes about 8
hours with very few files changed. This timing is not acceptable to our
users. I have talked to ABC and they want me to talk to an engineer and see
if he can suggest any parameters to change. I have not had time yet to do
this. My opinion is that he can not help much but I will try when I get
time.
My second problem is with the system disk. I had some errors about the
structure on the disk. Due to the above problem I have not researched this
problem. If I fix problem number one then I would tackle this problem.
From the people in New Jersey, they say that the product is working great
and that they have had no problems.
Well that is my 2 cents worth.
