I'd like to see what some of you guys and girls are using for your enterprise backup software, and if you would also like to add what kind of hardware you use that is great too.
Currently I use a HP B6200 and some HP 3PAR's as the hardware and formerly HP now Microfocus Data Protector as the software.
Due to the horrible support and buggy software we are looking to get rid of Data Protector.
Veeam is at the top of my list for replacement but it may be too expensive so I wanted to collect more options/opinions.
My direction for right now is to move us away from specialized backup appliances like the B6200 that cost a lot and limit our capabilities and buy cheaper basic storage and rely on the backup software to handle things like deduplication. We can get 100TB 2U Servers for like $13K that is a fraction of what the B6200 cost and they will be much faster and more modern.
If you have experience or suggestions please do share!
