What do you like best about Arcserve?

file level granularity when performing restorations from tape or disk back to original location. This is sometimes important when working in a windows environment with AD profiles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arcserve?

I would prefer that the logs had more detail in them and is easier to look at. I want to know where exactly something has failed and why especially if its errors related to tapes or drive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Arcserve:

Make sure you have your pricing correct when comparing to other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arcserve solving and how is that benefiting you?

All my servers are backed up, so I know disaster recovery will not be an issue and I can sleep at night knowing that my scheduling is working when it notifies me when the job is completed. The big benefit is off-site storage backups so I know my data is safe in case something were to happen in my environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arcserve?

Supports OES/Novell file and folder level backup and restore.

Good dedupe and compression to minimize storage footprint.

For UDP we use recovery-point synthetic backups, for OES we use dedupe.

Both apps utilize a NAS for DR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arcserve?

More complicated GUI and more difficult end-user experience than the prior product, Unitrends, which stopped supporting OES/Novell without acknowledging an existing user base reliant on the functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arcserve solving and how is that benefiting you?

Backup and Disaster Recovery systems that are fast and reliable. They also allowed us a 30/60 day trial period to prove the OES backups and recovery were exactly what we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Arcserve?

ARCserve's ability to provide bare-metal recovery services is key to our disaster recovery policy. With physical medium and cloud-based backup and restore capabilities, we are confident of limited downtime along with access to the most recent data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arcserve?

Although the cloud-to-cloud service is fast the internal server to cloud-based services could be somewhat faster, it seems. Our Internet connection is quite fast, yet the archival process doesn't appear to utilize the bandwidth very efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arcserve solving and how is that benefiting you?

We feel that ARCserve's rock-solid archival, along with their revision history, will be key in recovering from a ransomware attack or natural disaster. With the tornadoes that ravaged our state recently, we were fortunate enough to avoid being hit by any but remain confident that if we were, our data would have remained safe.

What do you like best about Arcserve?

This program works well. It keeps up with all the backups using deduplication and provides a fast way to recover files. This product also works well with tapes and backing up directly to SAN and Network storage media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arcserve?

There is a little bit of a learning curve to figuring out the UI, but it just takes some reading, and you will have it down in no time. The support is ok; I had a little trouble a couple of times I contacted them. The licensing scheme can also get very pricey since you have to get individual licenses for all attached devices/servers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Arcserve solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good reliable backup solution. It works well and gets the job done once all the licenses are purchased. I wanted something that I could set up, and it would just work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It used to take an hour or two to check backups but after using this software it took no more than 30 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
