Re: Backup for Servers

I've never understood why so many people are disparaging about the inbuilt
MS Backup, I've always found it to be really easy to use and reliable. I use
it to do a full back up once a week, and an incremental one overnight to a
NAS

What is the typical means to provide backup for a server. OS will be
WinServer 2003 standard. This will be for a small office environment and
maybe 30 maximum tractions per day. I would suggest incremental backups at
noon and end of the day and full backup once a week. I assume tape backup
is the choice, but what are other choices. I see in server specs they have
multiple hard-drives available. What are the pros/cons. Comments are
welcome.
Thank you
