Answered a question: What is the best backup solution for Sybase ASE 15.5?
Sybase ASE has built-in support with IBM Spectrum Protect
Another way is to use SPFS (a file system for Spectrum Protect); where you can mount the IBM Spectrum Protect storage as a filesystem/mount point or drive letter on your server, and in this way have full control of…

Answered a question: How to backup Dell EMC PowerScale (Isilon) with Veeam or an alternative tool?
It is possible to do it with most types of backup solutions, such as IBM Spectrum Protect
But it requires a full scan to detect changed files.
The changed files will be the only part that will be sent to the IBM Spectrum Protect storage, using its progressive incremental…

Have you seen the SPFS solution
SPFS is a filesystem for Spectrum Protect, making it possible to mount the storage pool data as a filesystem directly on the servers, and in that way protecting almost any data with Spectrum Protect.…

Replied to PaulLemmons When evaluating backup and recovery software, what aspect do you think is the most important to look for?
@PaulLemmons Yes, backing up data smart does not mean that one can restore it smart. Eg a VM image backup includes more data than needed, and it might be problematic to find and restore an individual object (file)
mixing different architectures is also something to…

Replied to Raul Garcia When evaluating backup and recovery software, what aspect do you think is the most important to look for?
@Raul Garcia If RTO also correctly includes the time between when the incident happened and when everything is recovered. Some miss the time between "when it really happened", and instead start counting from when someone executes the restoration
Also a lot of people and…

Replied to Thang Le Toan (Victory Lee) When evaluating backup and recovery software, what aspect do you think is the most important to look for?
@Thang Le Toan (Victory Lee) look at progressive incremental forever techniques. Philosophy: Why backing up data again if the data has not been changed
The fastest way to backup data is to not back it up (again).
Excluding content is also something to check
Progressive…

There are several things to consider
The ability to have the flexibility to fulfill requirements.
- Recovery Time Objectives (RTO, how to fulfill different requirements that the business has to restore data that meet the requirements of "how long time can the business live…

Answered a question: Help! Need an opensource backup solution to work with OVM, Linux, Windows, Sql server, Exchange, Sharepoint. Plus bare metal recovery.
If you want an opensource application than there are severals, Amanda for instance
If you want a backup software that has wide support, then Spectrum Protect is my best advice. Progressive incremental forever (always incremental backups). Philosophy: Why backing up data…
