I like the product because it is very reliable when it comes to backing up data and restoring the data. I've had good experience with this product for the past 10 years. I'm planning to upgrade our existing 7100 appliance in a few months.

I dislike the maintenance renewal. I think they over charge. I'm a previous backup exec user so I would prefer seeing similar functionality. I find Arcserve not as intuitive as backup exec. Backup exec had many more features than arcserve.

It was a great product 10-15 years ago, and maybe it still is in a fully physical environment. In a virtualized environment something like Veeam is a better solution.

If there are Folders\Files that you can archive to an external drive and remove from the backup you can gain space. The other option is to get a larger drive.Read more
