Hi,
I've placed an order through our IT supplier for this backup software. As it is critical to use it for disaster recovery, I have paid the extra for this facility.
However, I understand it only works under SBS 4.5 (what we have at the moment). I've been told Veritas are still working on disaster recovery under SBS 2000, but it's not ready yet. Obviously this will have an impact on any future decision to upgrade. What can you tell me about Veritas timescale for release?
Now they also told me that I should purchase a support contract for SBS and IDR (about £200, as I recall) and I have to do this before December as they're bringing out the next version, and the contract will not be available for the current version, I'd have to upgrade and THEN purchase support contract for it. Apparently without it, I would not be able to receive bug fixes and upgrades.
What can you tell me about what Veritas are telling me? Should I purchase?
Kind Regards,
Jay/UK
