This sounds RAID like but without the continuous backup of RAID, or
are you backing up to an external drive? In my case, I was more
concerned about data backups that can be easily taken offsite, so CD
or DVD is the best choice (since I can't get people to spring for
$1200 tape drives.) But after reading your comments and Brian's, I'm
thinking they need a two fold system - weekly or daily system backups
for catastrophic failure, and daily data backups. I had read some
good things about Retrospect, and Genie Backup Manager
(http://www.genie-soft.com/products/gbmpro/default.html) - any one
have any comments on either of these?

FWIW I use System Guardian ( Standby Disk )
Back up daily to a second HD, fully bootable without having to go
thru a restore. Much more convenient then restoring from server or
disk, and faster. Has saved my bacon more then once ( and my
customers ) least amount of downtime of ANY backup SW. Overkill for
home use but not business, I back up my business system every 12
hours. First is full, others are only what has changed so goes fast.
IMO is nothing finer.
