SQL Server backup utility vs Seagate Backup Exec

biscuit.. #1 / 5	SQL Server backup utility vs Seagate Backup Exec My network people are trying to persuade me to use their program (Seagate Backup Exec 7.3) to backup my SQL Server 7.0 databases because that's what they use. I have been using the built in backup program from the SQL Server Enterprise Manager and have found that it does everything that I need it to quite easily, but they still want me to use Backup Exec. I think that we should use the SQL Server backup since it is built in and easy to use.Does anyone have any pros or cons on these two products?

Wayne Snyde #2 / 5	SQL Server backup utility vs Seagate Backup Exec Backup exec will allow the admins to put file, and sql backups from multiple servers on a single tape... That is essentially the difference... To do the same thing in sql, you would back up all of your databases to a common disk directory. Then use backup exec to copy the db backup files to tape... (This is what I personally prefer, but it takes more disk space.)... additionally, you may (probably) wish to do tran log backups via an alert mechanism... If so, you will need to somehow integrate this SQL server log backup into the backup exec scheme.. Otherwise, i do not see this as a really big deal either way. -- Wayne Snyder MCT,MCSE, Sql Server MVP IKON Education Services, C{filter}te, NC (Please respond to the newsgroup.)

Per Schjetn #3 / 5	SQL Server backup utility vs Seagate Backup Exec We tried to use Seagate Backup Exec with the SQL Agent for SQL 7.0. We encountered some problems and they are confirmed as bugs by Veritas. There will be a service release for Backup Exec in September.

James Brak #5 / 5	SQL Server backup utility vs Seagate Backup Exec If you have enough disk space on your SQL Server, you could do database and transaction log dumps to disk, then come in later with Seagate (or Arcserve, etc...) to backup the dump files.
