Backup Software - Opinions Wanted

CigarNut · 03-16-2010, 07:26 AM

Moses is right, Backup Exec is a pretty sturdy program and usually if something goes wrong with it, it is due to outside problems that would cause problems for any other backup too. Ghosting the hard drive is always a good way to get a full backup cleanly.

One set of backup tools that I would avoid are the ones that come bundled with external hard drives. Most of those don't work very reliably at all... (at least not of if you want to recover the whole drive).
