The same here. I run robocopy jobs each day. Each day gets into a different folder with the /mir switch, then the next week that days's folder get's re-mirrored. I also use DFS to for the remote site folders to a DFS server here at HQ, which gets backed up nightly. I run the DFS schedule so that it's done only at night right before the backup. So we have backup to tape at HQ (of HQ and remote site files) and robocopy backup to a large USB drive at the site. Easier and cheaper than dealing with tapes and ArcServe at remote sites.

Why not just rsync the original files and skip NTBACKUP? Our setup has a server that does an NTBACKUP of "SystemState" to another server, but ROBOCOPY's everything else plain files. (The server is right next to it, so I didn't care about bandwidth. We backup that other server with tape every night.) One of the things I'm not looking forward to with the migration to 2008R2 is having to find a third-party backup solution, as Microsoft has so kindly decided our backup strategy is wrong. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
