July 4, 200719 yr The company database gets backed up each day using NTBACKUP.A consultant checked out my system and said the followingI see you are backing up using ntbackup. This creates a binary backup and I've experienced problems with such backups as and tiny corruption breaks the whole backup.If needed you can backup a snapshot of PICS on to these spare drives as an extra precaution.NTBACKUP is based on backupexec which is one of the leading backup solutions so surely it can be trusted?
July 4, 200719 yr Only way to be sure is to test your restore process, and often.NTbackup isn't "enterprise class", but it's good enough for some.
July 4, 200719 yr what he is saying is true, personally symantec backup exec 11d is the best backup software i have come accross. you can restore as far as an individual email from a backup! thanks
July 5, 200719 yr Author what he is saying is true, personally symantec backup exec 11d is the best backup software i have come accross. you can restore as far as an individual email from a backup! thanksSurely its still a binary backup and prone to the same kind of data corruption?
July 5, 200719 yr I would say test a restore. I wouldn't trust this comment either without seeing it for myself.
