Again, Knox compares favorably with many software vendors. One thing I like in a backup package, but is missing, is a manual retension command. Of course, I can use mt retension on most any UNIX or Linux box. If you like retensions before each use of a tape, add it here. This is customization I have not seen with other tape backup programs.
Scheduled backups are essential in any production shop.
Defining them is simple and flexible. You can run daily, weekly, monthly and yearly backups. Periodic backups are defined in terms of savepacks and tape pools. For unattended backup, you can require a new tape with each backup. Pricing is reasonable compared to an NT server network backup package.
