“Data backup and recovery is one of the most essential parts in
administering computer networks. Up to this point, many system
administrators have relied on a combination of shell scripts and
dump to backup their system. Many administrators have already found
from experience that this combination has limited functionality and
often requires custom scripting to fit the needs of each
individual.”
“Last month, Computer Associates, Inc. asked us to review
ARCserveIT v6.61 Advanced Edition for Linux. The initial
installation was not complicated and each function executed as
documented. The Advanced Edition for Linux has many interesting
features. Perhaps the most interesting one is the Java interface.
ARCserveIT requires apache and installs the Java control panel at
(http://localhost/as6) It can be accessed locally or via a network.
This makes ARCserveIT administration easy. ARCserveIT also can be
access and controlled from the command line.”
“The appearance, ease of use, and functionality of
ARCserveIT were all excellent. In the two week testing period,
ARCserveIT remained stable, executed all jobs, and logged all
events. If you are looking for a better Linux backup solution,
ARCserveIT may be what you need.”
