Backup exec 10 and a Rev drive

[sneakyneil]

Hello my thrifty friends.

I've been using the evaluation version of Backup Exec 11d for 50/60 days now, backing up to a disk folder set on a set of IOmega rev disks. Works well, with the small proviso that I have to use an external post backup command to eject the disk.

I note that backup exec 10 is cheap on ebay, has anyone used it in this manner with a rev drive?

2k Standard BTW!

Cheers
Neil

Does it appear as a regular disk drive to the OS? Backup Exec has been able to (officially) write to disk since 8.6.

OK, that sounds good to me. Cheers

I worked in support for Veritas from 8.5 to 9.1 (3 long, long years) - any questions let me know.

But yes, backup to disk works well in Backup Exec - I use it myself at home (but version 8.6 - the most stable version they made)
