I was looking for software for my Segate Travan 20gig tape drive and browsed Veritas site for Backup Exec for Win Servers and noticed this EULA . It appears if your a drug smuggler from Iraq that wants to backup his computer where his wepons of mass destruction .pdf files are, Veritas says no way. I thought it was kind of humorus, but it's a serious subject.
Anyway, my Segate Travan came with TapeWare XP or XD but it's only a 30 day trial
I cannot believe you purchase such an expensive peice of hardware only to get jipped on the software end. Anyone have an recommendations that aren't as expensive as the Veritas options?
