<DIV>Get a RAID controller and mirror. M$ wont back up certain operating files (like the boot! to protect their copyright). Otherwise consider a second drive and back up data via a batch file<BR>and "scheduler".</DIV>

I has a Vs160 tape drive, I'm <BR>trying to use this windows backup utility to schedule a nightly backup <BR>and it doesn't look like it fired last night. It had a brand new tape in <BR>it, I think it might have to do with that.<BR><BR>I don't have to use this, I'm just looking for something robust, that I <BR>can back the server up and restore it to another machine if it dies. <BR>Something kinda like tar. I can put it in another box and extract files, <BR>no cataloging, media sets, or other crap. Free is always good too.<BR><BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Justin<BR><BR>-- <BR>Justin Bennett<BR>Network Administrator<BR>Dynabrade, Inc.<BR>8989 Sheridan Dr.<BR>Clarence, NY 14031<BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE>!
