Hello all. I have been trying to locate a post that reviewed all of the major backup solutions available. I used to have a link to it but I cannot seem to find it now. Does anyone have the link offhand? I believe the thread linked to an external site but I cannot recall exactly. It compared features to to features and discussed the advantages/disadvantages of each solution. Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Kevin

Hey Mikeyman, I would like to try your software. Unfortunately the software needs to have support or at least documentation offered in Japanese. Is this something that you plan to offer? As it stands the only solutions are Backup Exec, ARCserve and vRanger. If you do not have plans I would suggest looking into it. Software(&hardware) sold here is done at a considerable markup(>20-30%) and I am sure you could recover the localization costs quite quickly.

Cheers

Kevin

Kevin,

Thanks for the interest in esXpress. I know you posted on our board concerning support and documentation in Japanese. Although we don't have that at this point we can let you know if that changes.

Hello,

Once the new stuff is available, I will gladly test it and add to the comparison. All someone needs to do is let me know when its released.
