RE: Back Up Software

[Kronzer, Lance - City Auditor]

Jim,

 

The majority of the  City is connected to  networks that are maintained by our Information Technology department -- they back up daily.  Our "C" drive is the hard drive on our individual PC's.  The "H" drive is our personal drive on the network.  The "G" drive is on the network, too, but shared by our staff.  Our policy is to store  data on the "H" drive -- the trade off is that our Infor. Technology folks could access that data there and thus we lose some confidentiality. But the chances are fairly remote and can be controlled by using the "C" drive temporarily. 

 

We have no specific software for backing up our C drives.

Subject: Back Up Software

In light of the recent events I thought it might be timely to find out what software auditors are using to back up their data. I currently have both a CD-RW drive and an internal Zip drive.  Running in Windows 2000 I have found the MS Backup to be less than adequate when it comes to backing up (and restoring) data. If anyone has any backup software that they could recommend I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks,
