I'm looking for a solution to resolve the long time it takes for NTBackup
to
complete on my SBS server. It seems everyone thinks I'm doing it wrong and
my
backup/disaster plans are wrong and my choice of hardware is all wrong.

I'm looking for a solution to a specific problem, the time it takes to
complete a single backup. I'm not going to go out and throw USB drives
into
the mix since my plan uses other technologies, and I'm not going to go
into
them here since the plan is not the issue, it is the time it takes for
NTBackup to complete.

I welcome everyone's input, but I'm asking everyone to stay focused on my
problem and not continue to bash details that are not in question.

Thanks and I hope I don't get flamed.

I'll repeat my question:

Sean!

Have you tried to make your own bks file with folders that you want to back
up? Create a simple batch file with ntbackup command line with options, and
make a schedule task to run daily?
