Sound Mind Data Solutions Data Protection And Backup Solutions

1) Backup Exec is a product put out by Symantec which allows for Continuous Data Protection (CDP) backup and recovery. It offers centralized administration of backup and remote servers. Agents are used on remote clients to connect them to backup servers. Backups can be run to disk or tape.

2) NetBackup is the "big brother" to Backup Exec and is also a Symantec product. It is usually used in enterprise data centers with hetergeneous environments. NetBackup has many sub-features which can be very useful to companies needing extra protection.

3) Galaxy is the data backup solution from Commvault and is the leading competitor to Symantec's backup software products in the Northwest. Client licenses can be added as needed as well as other additional features/functionality. Disk or tape can be used as the backup media.

4) Windows Backup is a utility that is included with Microsoft Windows servers that will perform local and network backups from a Windows server. It has a scheduling feature that can be used to automate backups. Disk or tape can be used as the backup media.

5) Cron or At Jobs allow you to setup a scheduled task which can be used to initiate a backup using pre-defined data source and a pre-defined media source. For example, you could add an extra disk drive or a tape drive to a Windows or Linux server and the job would transfer your data to it on a regular basis.
