We have been using SnapBack Live on all of our servers. It is GREAT! It
will backup your entire hard disk track by track, sector by sector to allow
for a complete system restoral from a floppy. It also does the backup
process "live"- -- it doesn't require downing the server.
We are running 6 Windows NT4 servers (sp4) and run snapback on all of them
once a day. I had to recover from a defective drive last week -- I just
bought a new disk drive, installed it and booted to my recovery floppy. I
was up and running in just under an hour. (we have since added a second
scsi controller and disk to mirror this drive -- it was our primary dns
server)
They have a trial version on their website. It times out in 30 days. BUT
they give you a "lite" version for free that doesn't time out. The only
limitation is that the "lite" version requires the server to be "down"
during the backup.
We swear by this product!
