VBR also have the option for custom SQL against the database, in our case we didn't even hear back from aptare when we asked for a demo. That said VBR could still do with some improvement, but we are at 6.2MP3 not the latest 6.5. VBR can aslo group servers & mount points into groups(views), and db instances should be coming

We tried backup reporter several years ago. At that time we also evaluated Aptare and found it to be much better at generating reports
and collecting historical data. We have been using it for over 6 years now and are very satisfied. At that time we found Aptare to be
a far superior product.
Aptare has some good tools for running sql scripts against it's Oracle database which I am not sure that Backup Reporter
has. I don't know what the latest incarnation of Backup Reporter has these days.
Aptare has the ability to group servers into groups and run reports against these groups. It also records data in near real time.
So you can get the status of a backup almost immediately.
Their tech support is also very good.
You can set up an avaluation with Aptare and try it out for awhile.

Anyone using or have an opinion on Veritas Backup Reporter? How does it compare with Aptare? My manager has scheduled a meeting with Symantec and Backup Reporter is one of the topics. I'd like to get some opinions and a heads up before hearing the sales pitch.
