Anybody heard of Syncsort's Backup Express?

http://www.syncsort.com/bex/infobex.htm

My boss met a rep at Oracle world and now wants me to talk to them about setting up a demo to see their backup software. Has anyone heard of them before? I am looking for new backup/restore software. Currently using ArcServe 2000 on a Win machine and ArcServe 7 on a Netware machine, don't really like ArcServe though, I just started to read up on Veritas backup exec.

Hi mfranco,

Yes have heard of SyncSort's Backup Express.
It's is not well known, but very good!

It is very easy to install, handle and troubleshoot. In fact it is the only software that can do backups for Novell Clusters, and that's exactly the market place it is sold into, the Novell market.
Try it, you'll probably like it.

I am very familiar with both Snycsort and Netvault. I prefer Netvault. Much easier to use.

Well, they are supposed to be sending out some engineers to demonstrate the software for me next week sometime. I guess I'll just see what it can do.

What are you trying to backup? That might help figure out what is better for you.
