The last company i did backups for had 30 days of backups ...and the first
of each month was stored away in a fire proof safe offsite...making backups
going back one year offsite. and 30 recent daily backups for justincase .
this backing up was done by a robotic tape drive.......... depends on your
level of paranoya.
Maybe it would be good to have two backup swappable/caddy drives , once
every two weeks rotate the backup so you have something old ..and something
new....then you just need something blue and your alledgedly happy.... :O)
Cheers
Cameron
ps ...it isnt paranoya if they are really after you :OP

Subject: Re: Awesome experience with Disc cloning software
Clones, it seems are ideal for quick recover. However, are there not a
couple of points not considered;
#1 In keeping a series of say the last 3 images, then say where a
virus has been picked up, one can go further back in the series to
backup from.
#2 Well this really relates to images as well; What is the case with
software registrations that are based on what hardware is on the
machine. While I don't know how to identify these, what happens in
the case of having to backup to a new harddrive? Maybe the programs
don't wish to work, or XP says "our office is closed for the day,
please call again tomorrow to reactivate" ?
Maybe clones for day to day backups, plus a weekly image to add to
the series. Where does it end? Seems both Casper & Duocor don't make
images?
Has anyone success with making images or clones from RAID-0 to a
single backup drive?
note: just found on the Duocor site; "Yes, our technology is
compatible with Microsoft's Product Activation Code".
