I was looking for a Client-Server backup system that could offer me the possibility of backing up Unix/Linux and NT Servers on a single tape system.
After long research my choice went to the Arkeia solution, because it has all the benefits I needed. Since then, it runs like a black box, without any need of additional Service.

The nature of our business requires backing up sensitive CAD data of an ever increasing volume and storing that data for long periods of time.
We decided to use Arkeia Server Backup after introducing a new central server system, running under Linux. Arkeia provides the flexible, reliable, native Linux solution with autoloader support we were looking for. Compared to our previous system (using a slower tape drive), time for a full backup was cut down from seven hours to less than two. Sending a status email to the administrator after backup completion is a very valuable feature. We particularly appreciate
Arkeia Technical Support taking their mission seriously. They are able to identify any issues quickly, thanks to the extensive internal logging features of Arkeia.
As far as our long-term strategy is concerned, knowing that we have an upgrade path to network-wide and encrypted backups keep us confident to use Arkeia for the next years to come.

Our external web network configuration includes about 25 servers running Windows 2000 and Linux including Red Hat, Fedora and Slackware distributions. Our servers, IBM and MAXDATA, are Intel dual Xenon processors, with raid disk systems. As a database system we utilize Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL Server. The MySQL master / slave server is backed up
with the Arkeia plug in. We backup about 200 GB daily, and once per week the amount of data increases to 400 GB.
We previously tested several backup solutions, but none were able to do everything we needed. Arkeia was a pleasant surprise that allowed us to restore files from an old tape without the backup
server. It works!
My absolute favorite is the Arkeia Disaster Recovery module. It is very easy to use, fast and, simply stated, it works. We are able to rebuild a server without any information from the machine itself.

Arkeia software immediately cut costs by a third over other vendors, states Network Supervisor Patrick Benson.
Most backup software solutions we evaluated were either too limited or too complex. We're a medium-size company in an extremely competitive market. We can't afford to have someone sit around all day to watch our backups. We need a solution that works. Arkeia is that solution.

The Arkeia solution was chosen for two primary reasons: it was one of few products that could back up many different clients (Windows NT Server, Solaris, Linux and IRIX) and the only one offering an "open" backed up object catalog with the ability to read a tape without the backup software.

The requirements were simple:
How to carry out a reliable backup on a standard market configuration without using Linux shell commands?
How to manage a library of eight tape cartridges without having to type a series of commands?
How launch this backup periodically?
How to backup information in a MySQL database?
How to backup an unlimited number of servers?
How to obtain updates matching Linux updates?
Where to find simple to use software with small resource requirements?
Arkeia had the solution.
