Commerical Backup Solutions

Thu May 17 22:53:22 UTC 2012

Hey folks.

I'm hoping for some input from operational folks on backup solutions for
servers.  We are looking for a commercial backup solution with a nice
reporting dashboard etc.

It must support full/incremental backups on Windows and various flavors of
Linux.  We would also be looking for bare metal image/recovery abilities.

To date, we've been fond of Acronis until we got the quote for it ..
Initially we would be looking at 50-80 servers and growing it up from there
to probably 150-200 boxes.  Some of these servers are geographically
dispersed.

At the moment we have been using Bacula but it lacks bare metal options and
doesn't have any nice reporting options (Executive Dashboard etc)

Thanks for any input,

Paul
