What reviewers say
Reliable Backups, but Configuration and Maintenance Are Painfully Hard
“Backup exec was very reliable. Once configured it did what it was supposed to do. Backups were always usable with very few instances of corruption.”
Reliable Backup Software If Offisites Are Not Needed

Information Technology Manager, responsible for IT Infrastructure deployment.
