Just purchased BESR Desktop 8.5  and apparently it does not support Windows 7.  Please issue a live update that resolves this problem. Don Raymond Contact ID number: 954502191724128

Of couse, this is the feature that already exist in other software such as TSM Fastback and Acronis. But I think it should also available within BESR and BEWS. Let say that when you submit restore job and the restored files/system suddenly accessible. The blocks that requested by application will be redirected to the backed up copy while the restore job running in background until finish. In case of BESR, after you submit the restore job. The system reboot to Windows system and start working ...

 1.)  You should have the option for offsite copies when you select individual folders/files. Currently, this option is only available when you choose the ‘entire computer’. 2.)  You should have the option for making only offsite copies of your backup, w/o also having to select a local destination. The offsite option is grayed out if you don’t specify a local resource first (USB, network).

It would be nice to have in the new version of BESR Manager a functionality to delete automatically recovery points on many clients. At the moment exist a very useful option in the "Manage backup destination" window to monitor disk space and delete old recovery point automatically. Unfortunately this option does not exist on the Manager and there is no other way to delete these recovery point other than delete recovery points client by client Giancarlo

 BESR should allow one to target BOTH a drive letter OR a drive alias. While useful in the newer versions, where the alias is used.  This is an older feature that shouldn't have been removed in the 8.x builds. This way a single job could just target a drive letter (even better, let me create a drive pool! )  rather than having to create multiple jobs to target each target drive, even though it's the same backup type.

We have had several instances that a System Recovery job is missed for various reasons, hard drive gets full, third party app conflicts, etc. However, we are not notified by email alerts concerning this. It requires physically looking at the server to know if a backup has been missed, and this has gone on for a week in some cases. If there was a problem during that time, then System Recovery data is a week ago and this becomes VERY PROBLEMATIC. We request an option to be alerted about a ...

Hi All, I have been working on BESR since past two years. Its the best software for system restoration. It works with AD, Exchnage,SQL etc with no issues. many options are available expect one I have noticed. Like BEWS when creating a backup job we can assign a NIC card to perform backup, like wise in BESR we dont have such option. The option available is network throttling, we can increase or decrease the transfer limit, but we cant assign a seperate NIC card if we are taking ...

Hi, Will it ever be possible to push out the BESR agent without having to reboot afterwards - in the same manner as the Remote Agent for Backup Exec? Is it something that is not possible due to how the product works? Also. Would it ever be possible to carry out a mass deployment again in the same manner you can with the Backup Exec remote agent deployment. I realise i'm drawing comparisions between two different products but I had to ask! Finally are there plans to improve the ...
