Backups

what do u use

[fashezee]

For your backups, what do you use. I currently use a tape backup
but there's always seems to be an error and retrieving the data isn't
as straight forward as I would like it to be.

Any suggestions?

How much info do you need to backup? DVD writers and media are cheap now...

[fashezee]

atleast 30GB

Buy Norton Ghost and do compressed backups to DVD (or DVDs, depending on the level of compression you choose)

Discussed backup and disaster management strategies at length in the above thread, a couple weeks ago.

I use Acronis True Image, which lets you backup the drive you are currently running on.

No rebooting into dos, just click and burn and take the backup dvd-rs offsite.

That's in addition to a mirror raid array.

My workstations are backed up daily with DriveImage, but PowerQuest was just purchased by Symantec the other day, so it looks like Ghost and DriveImage will be integrating soon.
