No, it's no substitute. Everyone hears the mantra, BackUp, BackUp, BackUp. But you still will go to your customer and before doing something you inquire when the last backup was done and you are shocked that they will often reply with something like "last wednesday" (it's Tuesday next, Right?) Since storage is so cheap, if you still find yourself unable to drag yourself to the server to change tapes, you could use a method I used sucessfully for years that provided at least one days protection. I just kept another harddrive spinning (100gb + Ide drives now for $300 or so) and used the Xcopy command run from a scheduler and set the command line switches for Xcopy to copy only changed files. Quick and effective one day protection.
