I don't think it's OT, Jeff, everyone needs to back up their CF servers!
I don't have an anwer for you, just wanted to say that... but I'm also
curious to see what is suggested.

I believe by putting OT in the subject I have not violated any rules of the
group. If so feel free to flame me as it is deserved and know that it was
out of ignorance and not a disregard of proper etiquette.
A friend with a small company and limited budget has called in a favor
asking me to set up a completely hands off nightly back up of his 2 NT
servers.
My first attempt was to use Ghost to create an image of the entire HDD for
both servers on a separate machine, which I was then going to ftp those
files to a computer set up at his house. It's a 9-5 office so the downtime
while Ghost ran in DOS mode was not an issue, he could tolerate losing an
entire day's data with minimal pain, it would give him a second copy at a
remote location to deal with major catastrophe such as fire, and should he
ever need to restore he would only need to boot from a floppy I prepared
and follow a simple dialog to restore the entire system.
In theory it's a perfect solution, right ???
Why is it all the theoretical perfect solutions never work?
He has a domain controller. I say domain controller instead of primary
domain controller because there is no secondary. Can't boot the machine on
the network without a domain controller and creating a secondary is
probably not too difficult but I'm not a windoze guy so don't really have a
clue.
Any ideas how I can accomplish my mission without spending more than a
couple hundred dollars cash and a couple more hours of my time? In the
event he ever has to restore the backup it has to be a simple process
because checking mail and browsing the web are challenging to him.
Also, any recommendations for an automated FTP program that can handle this
simple task? I'm sure I can find one but recommendations would help so
that it is hopefully reliable and easy to use.
TIA
Jeff
