Its a great product for the price. I have used it in and out for 5 years internationally and truly it is the best backup/recovery product we have. There are some pros and cons to using the tool:

Pros:

Great product, works brilliant & works all the time.
Upgrades are simple.

Cons:

Price
Support is a mess(most of the time)
You have to read the whole manual to understand it. Never skip pages on that.
FOLLOW THEIR INSTURCTIONS. MOST IMPORTANT. NO PRESUMPTIONS ALLOWED. Whether it is to install or deinstall, You have to follow their step by step instructions for it to work properly.

We tried several ways for the product to work properly and finally surrendered to the manual. ORACLE DBAs - We cannot use the oracle technique for SQL B/T

My 2 cents

We have been using it for about 5 years on both Unix and NT. We have it connected to Netbackup to handle the tapes. We love it. I agree that the support is not what it used to be but we hardly ever need support. Although, the last time we called we got a support person that knew more about Oracle than
we did and knew SQL Backtrack inside and out. It's a great tool!

I am looking for some guidance from people who use this product. Is it a value add to the organization or not. If possible also let me know how in the hell does it do a online object extraction from the backup.

Would appreciate all your comments and recommendations

Thx
Gautam
