Guest allanc Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 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.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted February 2, 2008 Posted February 2, 2008 Re: Which BackUp Software 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.
