Backup

Just to get an idea, whats everyone using out there for backup of servers? I
would like to be able to save backups over the network and also be able to
backup SQL and Oracle efficiently. Well I am open to some suggestions. O
the reason I ask is because we use windows NT backup and we are looking to
change.

Symantec Backup Exec is pretty much a standard.

Thats what i figured. How does the license structure work for that software?
Main Suite on backup storage server and Agent for every server or
workstation needing backup? How about SQL and Oracle?

It is licensed per backup server, and agents although I believe you just
license the agent once and you can go ahead and install it wherever you need
it. As to SQL and Oracle, I believe it has add-ins, however we simply set
the DBs to automatically backup themselves using their own agents to another
disk, and then we have Backup Exec come along and grab the DB backups. We
are using an older version of Backup Exec. The newer versions are probably
much easier. Maybe someone else can comment on that.
