We've moved...

Ha ha, we are still in the same location but as far as backup software goes We have moved on.  We settled on Tivoli Storage Manager 6.1

I should have posted this information a couple of months ago but after dealing with NotBackup I didn't want to jump the gun.  So I've waited a bit and now that I've backed up the NotBackup server on TSM I'm ready to can the whole thing and repurpose the server - to the latest version of TSM.  Currently I'm on a 5.x server that was handy.

I can say that the TSM client installs all went smoothly.  All my backup jobs kicked off as scheduled.  It's very intuitive on the client side.  And that goes for the restore function as well.  Of course I did a test restore for each server.  Something everyone should do since backups are worthless if you can't restore and finding out you have a problem after the server goes down is too late!

I am installing the newer product, TSM 6.1, on a diferent server to test out more features.  And I'm sceduling training on this product for next week.  I should post how that goes and progress/notes on the 6.1 version.

Cheers!
