I have used BackupExec in the past and been fairly happy with it. Although I have used it for backing up and restoring files, I've never had to use IDR (or anything similar) to recover from a disaster, so your mileage may vary from here.

As with anything, TEST this product in your environment, including simulating a disaster recovery....

Pros:

  • Specific agents are very product aware

Cons:

  • It can get pricey
  • It can be tempermental
  • It can be overwhelmingly complex
