> Hi
I am going to put something else in the mix...
we have found that in small business the only way a regular backup gets
done is if it is automatic and easy.
Our usual solution is to provide identical disks and mirror them.This
provides some fault tolerance but does not address off-site backup and
backup generally.
To backup we install a removable IDE drive on one of the workstations
and install a fantastic little app on a WIN98+ machine called Disk to
Disk.[tucows $19.95US]
It can perform all sorts of backups.Individual files from anything on
the network.Full data backup of the server.Compress it or just copy.
It has an easy to use graphical interface and allows scheduling.it runs
in the backgroud backing up the data. at home time you whip out the
removable drive and go home. We still remind people to use the e-smith
backup as it backs up the config files but they really don't care about
that. [we do]
its cost effective. Easy for the user and provides good backups at a low
price.
