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 is how I have my exchange, AD, etc backed up here. We cant afford backup exec or any other system at the moment. They backup to a file server and then a batch runs about an hour after and copy's them offsite across my vpn. Regards, Chris Orovet Technical Support O: (727)812-0276 E

Depends on the OS the 2008 backup is NOT NTBackup. I seem to remember that the 2003 version was different than the 2000 version as well. A little more specifics would help here. Jon On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Sam Cayze wrote: > In a small rack, 2 servers, will ntbackup to an external
