I would say 98% is quite good.
In my experience the Windows clients talk very nicely with Windows or UNIX
backup servers (NetWorker) and the failures I've seen with clients are
usually due to
(a) client NICs left at auto-negotiate instead of being forced 100/full
(b) client is down for any number of reasons
(c) network-related issue such as firewall, netmask, etc.
(d) DNS misconfiguration, such as hostname <--> ipaddr <--> other hostname

[Networker] Compare Netoworker to
other backup products
Thanks, really, there is no real problem, windows servers from time to time
have issues on themselves, ( not backup server) and either leak memory,
fail RPC or get hung and this i think is not Networker server issue,
however, i wanted to see if any other programs have any better success
rate.
Personally i think 98% + is very good.
Thanks

Fazil,
I cannot speak to other backup products but I run a shop similar to yours
and have virtually no backup errors using NetWorker 7.2.x.
perhaps you could provide add'l information about the platform on which
your bkup server runs, and the kind of errors you're seeing ?

Hello,
Does someone have knoledge about other major backup software such as
netbackup and Galaxy, Tivoli etc.
What are the major differencies when compared to Networker, more
importantly what are the client and backup failure rates, I have over 130
clients on Windows 2k\3k, LTO1 drives all backed up to Networker 7.2.1 on
the network, from time to time i get a failure, i usually have over 98%
sucess with my backups, how does that compare to other vendors, what are
the major headach or issues.
Please give as much details as possible.
