Hi. We have two netapps, an f630 and an f760. We are currently using Budtool to back up everything, but we are less than pleased with performance, and the fact that the product is getting EOL'd by Leggato. What is everyone's opinion on what they use for backups? We are considering Workstation Solutions, and Legatto, among others. Thanks,
Paul Taylor Sr. Systems Engineer Connectria 215-841-5540
good question. i'm in the same boat (two F520's, crashing all the time due too ontap/budtool bad interactions). if you use ndmp for backups, my understanding is that veritas netbackup is the only option.

Actually Workstation Solutions has an NDMP client too. They seem to be a bit cheaper than Veritas, but less scalable for very large installations. For me, that's fine. Especially considering it's about 1/3 the price.
I'm demo'ing the Workstation Solutions product next week and will post the results if folks are interested. We're also a current Budtool customer.

hi lisa ...
are you a happy budtool user ;-)
i'd really like to here about the demo. a reliable, affordable NDMP backup solution would be great!
