I think that one project was fully as bad as half of my previous 13 years as an enterprise backup admin combined. One of those “never ever do that again” exercises. Fortunately that garbage EV never worked we’ll enough to go to production so the issue was ultimately avoided, albeit with much weeping and gnashing of teeth before the inevitable finally happened. ![]() We went round and round with a customer (law office) who wanted to merely sync their brand new Symantec Enterprise Vault to a remote location – over the Internet, no less – instead of backing it up. ![]() Sync is redundancy – not deletion protection, while backups are recoverability to a point in time (RPO / RTO). If I make a backup today, and delete all my files tomorrow, I can still restore files from the backup.Įxactly. This provides file redundancy in a similar way that a RAID array does, but neither are really a backup.Ī backup is a point-in-time copy of a set of files. If you accidently delete files from the source, then that deletion is propigated to the targets.
