Backup Software

Hi all
I have just installed my first sql (2000) server & have now to think about
what backup software to use.
Can anyone recommend what backup software works best with sequal? I have
Arcserve & BackupExec on my other servers.
Regards
AaronI think the best recommendation is to use SQL Servers own backup function to
backup the database to a file. Then you can use what ever backup program to
backup the file.

Base on my personal experience (with the 200+ servers at our location), I
would go for Arcserve. I find Arcserve more reliable but not faster than
BackupExec.
Here is an article which compares BackupExec 9.0, Netvault 7, Acrserve v9,
and tretrospect 6.5:
