Question : Problem: Best Backup Solution
|
|
Hi all
Ok i have posted before about having problems with NTBACKUP and i thought they were solved however they are not. I have had enough of NTBACKUP because it just doesnt backup to files for me. I am looking for a cheap effective alturnative for backups, i have thaught of the following
Handy Backup (www.handybackup.com) 2 Removable hard drive bays with 40GB Hard drives This will be used for doing a normal backup.
NTBACKUP for Incremental backups to my Travan Drive.
Will this working doing a normal backup with one program and doing the incremental with another? will Handy backup leave the same kind of marker on the files as used by NTBACKUP ?
This is a very urgent question as I DONT HAVE ANY BACKUPS :-s boss isnt happy hehe

Answer : Problem: Best Backup Solution

I have it working with BackupMyPC and Retrospect. Former->full, latter->incremental. I use the Retrospect with a 160 Gb external hard drive, and the BackupMyPC with a DVD-RW. All is well. To be honest thought I would rather have one program doing both, but for some reason Retrospect shuts down the network when it writes to the DVD. I don't see why you couldn't use the handybackup for both. Looks like a inexpensive solid solution
