If you're on the cheap (as indicated in one of your other
emails), this is definitely not the way to go.

Yikes! Thats about a thousand dollars backup tool. Thats a
little bit over my budget, do you recommend any other software
solutions?

This software will allow you to blast down a real time image of
your entire server to the firewire drive. If the server
crashes, replace the defective hardware, boot via PowerQuest's recovery CD,
restore the latest image, and boot the server.

[ActiveDir] Backups
First of all, thank
you for the information :-)
I would like to make a complete hard
drive backup onto the firewire
drive (like a complete image) so that if
the one on my system crashed
then I can just get the hard drive on the
fire wire cable and put it
into the IDE ribbons.
I probably
should have mentioned that what I am using is just a fire
wire cable
that lets you connect any type of IDE drive to it.
So with
pcinspector, would it be able to make a complete copy of the
hard drive
(with all the partitions, bootup stuff, etc) to another hard
drive and
have that hard drive be exactly the same as the hard drive in
the system
so in the event of a crash I can just swap the hard drive,
start up the
system, and everything is back to normal with all my
Active Directory
users, etc?
Thanks once again in
advanced.
