[dba-Tech] Backup Solution for Windows

If you're looking to have it stored on NAS or an external drive pretty much
every device comes with a backup solution that does just that. Non-stop
backups. Seagate bundles Acronis with their NAS.

I use Windows Home Server strictly for non-stop backups which includes
support for Time Machine.

Because I'm paranoid, I also run Acronis True Image 2013 on my main machine.
It includes the aforementioned non-stop backup capabilities plus full
imaging, partition BU, file BU, email BU, online BU, disk/folder/file
synchronization, cloning, rescue media builder, bootable media creation,
disk mgt., try & decide safe zones, drive cleanser (wipes disks), and WinPE
ISO builder. The Swiss Army Knife of their products - I use it because I do
all of those tasks as part of my business operations.

You can also get a more targeted package or a business environment oriented
package that supports things like networked imaging, exchange SQL Server,
etc.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Backup Solution for Windows

Hi All,

I am looking for reccomendations on backup software for windows XP that
works very similar to Time Machine on the Mac.

I just lost a 1/2 TB drive on my MacBook Pro and with my Time Machine
backup, I'm fairly confident my data is going to be fully recoverable once I
get the hardware back from Apple.

I would like that peace of mind wiht my XP laptop as well.

Basically I want it to be set and forget with full and incremental backups.
I think the Time machine backup was full monthly and incremental daily to an
external firewire drive.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Oh and I should add that a
cloud solution will not work. IT and the IT security team would have a fit.
