Question on: ActivTrak
[what are the next steps in term of Data Controls ?](/discussions/28249-what-are-the-next-steps-in-term-of-data-controls)

we need ability to control what data is maintained and deleted, and aging of data for example retention for the last year, this will have dramatic impact on the speed of the servers. i noticed the more user we add the slower the server is, since you charge per user model, the servers instance should be upgraded to match the number of users. add to that the amount of data store accumulating overtime

Elie, thank you for being an ActivTrak customer and sharing your experience with the product, our team appreciates the feedback. In the past few months, we have made significant improvements on the app and report performance and released improvements for Team Pulse, Top Sites and Top Apps reports. Over the next weeks, we will improve the performance of some of the most popular reports and features. We are also currently working on a data management & archiving policy that will balance keeping valuable information while avoiding app slowdowns when too much activity history is available for reporting. More details and timing will be communicated in the next few months. Our Customer Success team looks forward to connecting with you soon.

Question on: Arcserve UDP
[Why there are so many problems with our tape backup? I really astonished if a backup job just works](/discussions/why-there-are-so-many-problems-with-our-tape-backup-i-really-astonished-if-a-backup-job-just-works)

I'm so fed up with arcserve I can't tell you. I even reject to take care of it any more. I am sorry I don't have the time any more to sahre all my expereinces with you. There are 33 jobs that did not work so I have to telephone to the service provides. Did I already I so fed up with Arcserve?

I’ve had a very similar experience with Arcserve UDP, especially in environments where tape backup is heavily relied on and job consistency is critical. One of the biggest challenges I’ve seen is that backup jobs can fail intermittently without giving clear or meaningful error messages, which makes root cause analysis quite difficult and time-consuming. When you’re dealing with multiple failed jobs at once, it quickly becomes overwhelming because you’re not just fixing one issue—you’re trying to understand a pattern across many failures. In theory, the platform is meant to simplify centralized backup and recovery, but in practice, it often feels like it requires constant monitoring and manual intervention just to keep jobs running reliably. I’ve also found that troubleshooting usually involves going back and forth with support, which slows down resolution even further. Overall, instead of giving confidence that backups are running smoothly in the background, it sometimes feels like you need to babysit the system, especially in larger deployments with many scheduled jobs. https://basketball-stars.io

Answered: Christian Evan on June 16, 2026

There can be many variables for backup failure-open files, permissions etc..It is usually an issue with the software you are using for backups. Arcserve is a great software I use and it will backup open files in both the cloud and local drives.
