I have worked with BackupExec in the past and from what I've seen with Retrospect, the 2 softwares have a lot in common. But Retrospect seems to be targeted for small-medium business when BackupExec seems to be fore more serious needs. Retrospect also have a local agent on the server that needs to be backup up and will compress the files before sending it through the network. The only drawback is that for a specific folder that I want to do a backup, the agent wills till get a listing of all of the files located on the server, before going to do the backup of the ones needed. Thx for your advice, I hope that with backupexec I won't have too much problem!

It also reads the files and compresses them before sending over the LAN thus speeding up things considerably. Normally only FULL backups handle lots of data, all nightlies only need to process changed files so the load is much lower.

AFAIK Dantz makes software targeted at small and midsized business, maybe their software have issues with "large" directories with a lot of files and folders - Windows itself has some too. Higher level tools like BackupExec should be designed to handle complex and large backups. _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
