+10I am looking for recommendations for client side backup solutions for aprx. 250-300 users.
Time machine, or carbonite for the enterprise is the model I'd like to see... something as hands off as possible for the user.
I am hoping someone here has had a good experience they could share before I start playing vendor bingo.
thanks
+18@denmoff To be completely open I work for HP so anything I say after that you may take to be a bit biased. I have one customer that was using it for their PCs and they are now using it for Macs, I have not heard any problems with it. When I install it on new images it installs, it backs up, it restores files. It is relatively quiet, and seems to run well. It requires Java 6 to be installed, so that could be a sticky point. But as it does not require the internet plugin piece but just the run time stuff you probably should not be too concerned.
As with time machine if you restore an outlook database you have to rebuild it.
Its a corporate solution and not sure if any of the others are.
Time machine is obviously very convenient, but if the disk is in the same computer bag that was stolen, its not very helpful, if its not encrypted its not very safe, if that one disk dies, its not very good in a disaster recovery situation.
So, in short its as good as any other option out there I would think, but with enterprise support options available.
