ADSM for standalone server
1998-09-24 11:38:23
Does anyone out there have any experience or thoughts on using ADSM on a
standalone NT server. We have many field offices with a single NT server
and Arcserve going to a SCSI attached tape drive. We'd like to have all
machines in our enterprise use ADSM if possible. I see many problems with
this, especially in a DR scenario. If the lone server dies, so does the
ADSM server, and all you have is a pile of tapes and hopefully a DB backup.
Now you have to reinstall NT, reinstall ADSM, recover ADSM system, recover
NT server data, etc..... Right now it's much simpler using Arcserve's DR
addon product, boot with a special floppy and NT install CD and stick your
last backup tape in the drive and a little while later, you've recovered the
server. Also keep in mind that these locations do not have any IT
personnel, so we depend on a national service provider that often has
minimal skills in recovering servers.
