Which BackUp Software

[Guest allanc]

We are running a small network (2 users) on a Windows 2003 Server with

SQL Server 2005.

We have not installed Exchange.

We can schedule a backup with no users on the network.

 

Our concern right now is to be able to create a complete backup that

is relatively easy to restore to the same server. In other words, a

complete image.

 

Are there advantages to using a third party commercial backup as

opposed to NTBackup?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello allanc,

 

Think the easiest way for you will be create an image over night from the

complete server to an external disk. Then you are always save. Otherwise

i would use ntbackup, because its free.

 

For SQL check out this ones:

(SROLL DOWN for 2005)
