I need a backup facility...


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I need a backup facility that is capable of recovering the project that created the backup. Confused? Let me explain:

All the software I have used requires the user to create a "project". The project tells the software where and what data should be backed up. Now, when one reinstalls Windows after a reformat, the data is easily recoverable, but the project is not restored. This means that the backup set is not usable for an incremental backup, because the software doesn't know that the backup set exists. So, the next backup requires many DVD's of already backed up information to be reburned, wasting valuable time and media.

Anyone know of a solution?

ETA: I am not looking for a complete system restoration solution like Ghost, as the backup sets are used to move data around different computers.
