-
- We have been using VM/QuickBack from Unlimited Software Resources
- ((216) 650-1984) for about three years. It does not have all the bells
- and whistles that VMBACKUP and SYBACK have. It only backs up CMS
- files (no SFS) and there is no provision for user initiated restore.
-
- There is provision for a FULLBACK on specified days and HALFBACK
- (only files updated since the last FULLBACK) on the rest of the days.
- We do a FULLBACK on Sunday and HALFBACK each weekday.
-
- It does the job for us. We rarely have more than 1 restore request per
- day and the computer operators handle them quite nicely.
