Re: OT:how do you do your imaging?

I agree with Russ that this depends on your goal. I have two member servers that I back up with ShadowProtect. One does a full backup to a storage server on Friday at 9 PM. The other does the full backup Sunday at 6 PM. Then they each do 4 incremental backups daily, every 3 hours. One starts at 10 AM and the other at 11 AM.

I schedule all the partitions in a single job that starts at the given time. I don't see any advantage to doing the various partitions at separate times, if for no other reason than that it's more monitoring for me.

Hi all,

I was wondering how people set up their imaging jobs. Most of us have a couple of partitions on our servers, C & D etc but how do you schedule your jobs?

Do you just image the C drive at 8pm for example or do you schedule C&D at 8pm or whatever.

Just being nosey and lookin for some feedback :)


Many thanks
