Good question. I always back up entire disks or partitions. Nothing less.
From: Phil Hershey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: A desktop backup solution that works. Were you imaging the disk, or were you doing a files/folders backup with it? Doesn't sound right, as we've never had a problem with TrueImage Workstation or Server versions. We haven't yet updated to the new "Echo" release though.

I installed Acronis True Image Echo Workstation and. It choked when it hit the first locked file, followed by a crash. Hmmm.. Thoughts?

I'm using True Image Workstation 9.1. Yes, it handles open files fine. I believe it works at the block level rather than the file level so open or closed makes no difference.

Ive gotten good results with Acronis on Vista and XP Machines with Large Disks. It creates a compressed image file, and it can do full / diffs From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2008 2:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: A desktop backup solution that works. Afternoon all. I have a need to backup an XP desktop which has about 400GB of data to a NAS on a nightly basis. I need to be able to backup locked files as the user does not log out. We've been using Symantec BESR, but it ALWAYS shows an error for one reason or another including the fact that the pagefile drive (dedicated partition) is not being backed up. What do you guys recommend for use on a single, standalone, non-AD machine?
