Backup software for 2003 x64

[colin8651]

I purchased a server from Dell and had the x64 OS installed on the system only to come to find out that the version of BackupExec that shipped with the computer doesn't work with the 64 bit OS. I have contacted Dell about getting the 11d version for the server and was informed that the OEM version won't be released for a month or two and have yet to get a quote from Symantec after numerous request via email.

I currently am using the built in version of the Microsoft backup software and would like to get some input of what other backup programs I should look into purchasing for the server since Symantec doesn't seem to care about contacting me and Dell won't have a release for a few weeks / month.

I do admit that the built-in NTBackup software is limited - you may wish to consider Ultrabac, as it works quite well and has an x64 version for Windows available.

I believe the latest version of Symantec Backup Exec 11 also provides support for x64 machines.
