RE: Server Backup Solutions
Backup4All looks good...very similar to SyncBackSE...I'm just waiting for one of these vendors to offer block-level differential backup. Now *that* will be terrific!

Re: Server Backup Solutions
At my last job, we started backing up to a rotating pair of USB 2.0 external HD's. It worked perfectly. We would switch them out on Monday AM, with last weeks going off-site and the other one coming in. The backups were done with Ghost and they were so handy! We'd have one new image for every day and you could use them as a whole image or get into them to pick and choose. We even had to use them once for a full restore and a couple of times for partials or for the odd file or folder restore and it was the coolest backup solution. Easy, reliable, fast... I really liked it. --Ferg > -Original Message- > From: Mike Klostermeyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 3:58 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Server Backup Solutions > > Thanks.

Re: Server Backup Solutions
Rotation of backups can easily be done with Windows scripting or batch files. I do this with my personal computers at home, backing up to an NAS on my network. I use the Windows scheduler to run the backup batch file each night. The batch file fires NTBackup, setting a destination backup filename (incorporating the date). I do a weekly full backup, then incremental daily backups. - Original Message - From: "Mike Klostermeyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" Sent: Monday, May 22, 2006 1:58 PM Subject: RE: Server Backup Solutions > Thanks.

Re: Server Backup Solutions
For years I have been backing up to hard drives on the data server (NT/SQLS7) and then distributing those files (.bak) to other servers using scheduled ftp or PCAnywhere sessions. I maintain a 4 day rotation in different directories. I am not as diligent with transaction files only maintaining 2 hour backups for a day on an independant hard drive. I roll off data onto DVD every 4 days.
