I am IT consultant for a few companies and all of them use different software packages for the same purposes of virtualization and backup. All of my clients insist on VBR7, they say it’s the best – but problem is they also have legacy physical servers which it doesn’t cover. Now I am facing nightmare of learning 4 different backup software suits (vRanger, Symantec’s BE, Acronis, AppAssure), which is not very convenient to say the least – and plus VBR.
I already browsed through 2 of them and now I am even more confused: processes are different, terms are different and I have already encountered issues with data recovery (we lost some critical customer data). I have to study remaining and I cannot imagine how much more lost will I get.
Of course, this problem will hopefully resolve itself once I get smarter with all of these softwares, but how long will this take and how many mistakes will I have to go through? =((( Does anyone have similar problems and how you guys manage this?
