RE: CA ARCserver Vs. Veritas Backup Exec?

I looked at the CA ARCServer and Legato a while ago.

I believe the CA ArcServer uses their own Oracle Agent. Thus you don't use RMAN, so you can't do incremental backups at the block level etc. Which is the reason I didn't go with CA.

One thing I can mention here, in Veritas NetBackup for NT, the backup set icons are invisible on my NT machines... It's a challenge to identify which backup set you are navigating in...

        Good morning,

        Can anyone share an opinion on how the CA's ARCServer compares to
Veritas
        Backup Exec on Windows platform?

        This will support Windows 2000 and Oracle 8.1.7

        Thanks in advance,
