Actually Microsoft's backup program is suppose to work very well and does what 
you have requested.

Subject: Backup Solutions for lower stress levels?

I currently have 5 servers running Exchange 2003, SQL 2005, Intranets, Websites 
and all the other usual stuff running on Windows 2003 R2 - no Sharepoint yet 
but that might be coming soon!  They all backup to a raid1 array in 1 server 
and then this is copied to a removable drive for offsite storage

My question is - are there any products that will make managing this easier on 
my stress levels?

I have got
Batch files doing systemstate ntbackups - 4 logfiles
Batch files doing exchange ntbackup  - 1 logfile
Auto Exmerge export - 1 logfile
Robocopy copying everything  - 7 logfiles
SQL backups to disk - 9 logfiles
There is also backup exec but I'm allergic to anything Symantec lately!

All I want (Am I asking too much) is 1 solution that can do D2D2D and possibly 
D2D2T that can cope with all of the above and make the management easier?
I seem to spend a good hour each day reading through the logfiles to check for 
errors and I'm still not convinced that I could get everything back if 
something happened!

Thanks

...Spence
