With past problems with other clients, I have opted to hire a "specialist" to install Backup Exec.   Over a year later, 4 "successful" backups!!!!!   (not in a row)

We have given up on Exchange 2007 and MS SQL 2005 backups 6 months ago to see if we can get (what I thought to be simple) a "File" backup from a server to a locally attached SCSI tape library.

You would think after 12 full version releases, you would have mastered a file backup.

Well our Specialist is still working on it - maybe he will cut his loses soon and swtich to another backup software company.

I personally would never choose anything Symantec other then Ghost - that does work

If you hired a specialist and they have taken over a year (and you are still paying them....) you either have a lot of other issues in your environment, or you need to find another specilist.

Agreed

Absolutely agree with rwessen...I would have given them a month at most. (although it shouldn't take more than a few days)
