What are the options for backup software for:
- HOST - Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with HyperV
- VIRTUAL - Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with Exchange 2010
- VIRTUAL - Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with SQL Express / SharePoint
- VIRTUAL - Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with Terminal Services (10 users working on it)
- VIRTUAL - Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with AD/DNS
What I'm looking at is possibility of having an offsite backup thru FTP, maybe copy to usb/esata/lan drives for easy taking backup data outside of company.
What I've been looking at:
- Symantec Exec Backup 2010 System Recovery has an offsite backup but I would need 5 licenses and it doesn't have granular recovery.
- Symantec Exec Backup 2010 seems OK but a bit expensive
- Microsoft DPM 2010 requires full SQL Standard and for each machine I would need 4 Enterprise licenses. But does it allow Offsite backup without need for additional license and server outside of company (for doing DPM backup of DPM).
What other options? This is 10 people company and so the costs matter but also convenience and security. Offsite backup is requirement.
