Long story short, I am in a position where I need to purchase new backup software for my four Windows 2003 servers.  I first looked to Backup Exec since it is listed on the Computer Stores website and am trying to get Symantec to provide me with more product information and help me find out what I really need but this is proving… difficult.  I guess they don’t want my money.  This, in combination with less than favorable past experience with Backup Exec, made me wonder what alternatives are out there and what is worth considering. 

 

Does anyone have any thoughts that they would like to share?  The only thing that will be backed up will be these four servers.

 

Thanks,
