"In terms of support for diverse platforms, Arkeia Network Backup clearly demonstrates its strength. We have no problems protecting our heterogeneous environment and, if tomorrow we choose another platform, Arkeia will have a backup agent for that platform, as well."

"In the budget allotted to us, only Arkeia was able to meet our requirements. Arkeia was better placed both financially and in terms of operating under Linux."

Atari Germany

"We have a heterogeneous network with Linux (SuSE) systems and all kinds of Windows Servers. The Arkeia server is on a Linux machine with access to a Storagetek L20 Library with two SDLT drives. Backups are incremental on weekdays and full on weekends, 500-600 MB. In the past, even our IBM AIX and Unixware machines were backed up with Arkeia.

"Arkeia support is VERY convenient, especially because you usually work with the same person. I know that suggestions from customers are really taken into account!"

"We originally used backup software from some of the larger companies and found that they were complex, expensive solutions. ... I searched for a better solution and discovered Arkeia's enterprise network backup software."

"Everything worked out so smoothly that I thought the implentation had not been processed at all. But it had, and I was really surprised about how easy it was with Arkeia. Besides the speed of the backups, what I really like about Arkeia is the web interface. Once I got used to it I found it much easier and more intuitive to handle than that of other solutions I know. The Arkeia interface is well organized, fast and stable in a browser."

"The MySQL plug-in actually works so well that we sometimes forget it's there. But each time we check it, everything works perfectly. It was surely a worthwhile add-on."

"The Technical Support team has been great in resolving or responding quickly to problems that have occurred. I felt like my suggestions were addressed rather than just falling on deaf ears.”

Centre Hospitalier Lavaur

Healthcare
France

"We have been using Arkeia Network Backup for more than 10 years now, starting with version 4 on RedHat. At this time we were looking for a very reliable and affordable solution to backup our Oracle databases on AIX servers. And it was a real success for a product that was at this time not very well known in the healthcare sector.

"Five years ago we migrated to a fully automated environment including a SAN, an LTO tape library and our Arkeia Network Backup solution upgraded to version 6. Nowadays we do still use this highly reliable backup solution for regular backups of our databases and Linux servers. And reliable backups are crucial for our activity.

"Three years ago we have started to virtualize our IT-environment and the implementation of the VMware module is extremely important to us. We have tested Arkeia Network Backup version 8.2 with its new VMware agent and are very satisfied with it. It enables us to strongly secure our Arkeia environment for VMware."

Musikverlage Hans Gerig

Distribution
Germany

"We are very happy with Arkeia as our backup solution. Our configuration covers 3 Linux hosts, including a backup server, a storage server, and and my workstation.

"The MySQL plug-in backs up our database used for web-development and intranet websites. It is quite comfortable for me as a developer to be able to perform backup on the running database in case I messed something up in the development tables.

"The main aspect I like about Arkeia is the good multi-platform support. It's running perfectly fine on our Linux machines but I can be sure that I could integrate any BSD, Solaris, Mac OS X or Windows host into the backup process should it become necessary.

"Additionally - though the user interface is very intuitive - there is a command line version which I really appreciate every time I have to do some administrative work from home.

"Another good thing is that the people at Arkeia always seem very friendly and forthcoming to their customers requests."

« Arkeia allows us to monitor and manage all aspects of our backup strategy : start backups in time, interrupt the backup process at scheduled hours to update and index our databases to finally start the process again for a total backup. Arkeia offers a maximum of autonomy and the user interface is really intuitive".

"Since installing Arkeia, we have streamlined and consolidated our Linux backup requirements from MySQL and PostgreSQL to large ext3 based file systems.

"The MySQL HotBackup plugin was a breeze to install and works flawlessly. We can browse the databases and tables just like a file system, all organised by the date the backup was performed. Managing the backup in this manner is great and the integration into Arkeia is seamless.

"We use the Arkeia MySQL HotBackup plugin to back up over 1,000 databases in around 35 minutes!"

"I was looking for a Client-Server backup system that could offer me the possibility of backing up Unix/Linux and Windows 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."

Schmid Electronic

"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 and Linux including Red Hat, Fedora and Slackware distributions. Our servers 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."

"As our companies merged we combined our two IT environments, expanded the business from 100 seats to over 1,000.

After the companies' merger, we replaced the deployment of Symantec NetBackup used by the other firm and standardized the backups of both companies on Arkeia Network Backup."

"Our requirements were simple. We needed to:

 

  • Find a reliable backup on a standard market configuration without using Linux shell commands
  • Manage a library of eight tape cartridges without having to type a series of commands
  • Launch this backup periodically
  • Backup information in a MySQL database
  • Backup an unlimited number of servers
  • Find simple to use software with small resource requirements
  • Arkeia had the solution."

    Arkeia's comprehensive backup reports are extremely useful because they inform us about minor or major problems that have to be resolved, e.g. a lack of disk space or the disappearance of source data. Thanks to these reports we are able to improve the quality of our services."
