Gary,
Thank you for your reply. I've now noodled your crisp reply for 5 days.
Your 'joking' with your former boss is what still scares me.
I have never seen much noise during/post the [backup] operation. I have
very little experience with the [restore side] of the default MS code.
Buying,
Good Morning Duncan,
Yes, I do believe that Vertas did own Backup Exec for a while, and it is
now a Symantec product. I think what Microsoft did was to license the
basic code from Veritas at the time and provided the function with
XP. Ironically I still get support updates from Symantec that
Gary,
Thanks for the vote of confidence. So far, I have used it only for
backups. I have never had to do a restore.
Would your reference to Backup Exec connect to Veritas Corporation? I
can accept that perhaps Veritas may have been absorbed by MS way back when.
My XP version indicates MS
Joshua,
Thank you for the way-back perspective. Yes, I do know Acronis. I know
it seems accepted here by several users.
I like the idea of the Seagate suggestion; sadly, I do not use Seagate
drives in my servers' RAID. Just can not afford them any more. I used
HGST at first; nice RMA
Would like to trade emails about the SUBJ.
I do not wish to load some other code/logic, ATM.
I am open to other code/logic, but ATM I only need to speak about my
default XP BACKUP logic. It does seem to work. I use it each month.
Yes, manually. (I need chores!!)
Best,
Duncan

Gary,
I use the Backup utility included in WinXPro.
I assume that nobody on this list does due to it being MS.
Was hoping somebody had some experience with this canned
program. Nothing more.
Was willing to go off-list for further traffic. Suppose I need some help
via obvious. Sorry.
Best,
Ahhh...there is nothing wrong with the backup utility included with
Windows. I thought I had read somewhere it is basically a stripped down
version of Backup Exec. Not sure I would be much help on anything specific
as I have not used that one exactly, but I used to do server backups when
That was my impression also, never used it since I had owned real BE
back in the day dumped after a few ownership changes.
Same kind of deal for Acronis True Image, Seagate for sure has a free
version of some version of TI with basic backup functionality. As long
as it sees a Seagate drive
