that was great i just started using legato but i need to know one things, dose legato support full system recovery from scratch with out an OS installed for both windows and unix.

if not dose this method viewed in the demo works for unix.

thanks

I have been using Legato Networker for many years and have a ton of experience with it. I have used the diskbackup option as well as currently use an HP autoloader. I think Networker has really turned from a mediorce product to a real solid one. Tech support has also gone the same path. I have spend hundreds of hours on restore and disaster recovery scenarios with Networker from SQL and Exchange restores to Active Directory. I have done full restores of domain controllers and never have had any real issues…they seem to restore fine with some modifications done after the restores. I think tech support is relatively inexperienced with any operations outside of Networker and when you do have to do a full server restore there are some issues that you need to deal with, but in general Networker can do full restores just fine. I also think you have to find the right engineer and there is one I always ask for if they can get me to him.

Very interesting video. I’ll try to do the same in my environment. Only one question about Networker 7.2.1 (I’m using 7.1.4) … how do you emulate the tapes/autochanger in the Legato server? Or are you using disck backup?

Thank you.
