You are totally right. And from experience, I can tell you that Latest versions of ArcServe (now brightstor) is VERY flakey (At least on netware) and support is awful and/or non-existent.

We are currently using an antedeluvian version of Cheyenne ArcServe/Open (2.2c) that is no longer supported but is still working by miracle under solaris 2.9. The big problems started to appear when CA took over cheyenne software.

We might be moving to Veritas Net Backup (VERY expensive) but we will not use the RMAN agent. Received on Wed Nov 05 2003 - 10:04:22 CST
