Small-Office Windows Based Backup Software?
Billhead asks: "My boss purchased a Quantum SDLT220 tape backup drive for our few computers in the office, and I have been put in charge of maintaining the backups. The only prior backup experience I have is with my home networks using Python scripts. We don't have any special needs, just encryption and scheduling. Our original backup software isn't compatible with the SDLT220, and other backup software we have tried have been horrible (unable to decrypt backups, memory leaks, unstable network backups). What does the Slashdot community use for small office backups?"
I can see why you're hired full time by a FTSE 100/Fortune 500 class company to do all of their incredibly important back office IT work,
Fortune 100 company? Is that where you would like to work? I hope you get your wish.
I have worked for one of those and I did not like it. They were too busy wasting their money on stupid stuff, like expensive software that did not work, homeland security and other nonsense, to pay their people. There may be better companies out there, but big is usually dumb and abusive. I'm not going back if I can help it.
