the 2000 version of NT backup works great for me but I don't have a very =
large network.  I have looked at Dantz Retrospect in the past and liked =
it and if NT Backup stops getting the job done for me, that is what I =
will buy to replace it.  www.betterbackup.com

IBM has some good backup solutions for large organizations.  The "bare =
metal" solution is really nice.

        I know this has been hashed around, but what do you guys use for
backup/restore on your servers?
        Not just Term Servers, but everything, too. NT Backup is not much of
a solution for a large network.
        We just went through several weeks of disaster recovery testing and
got at best 40% susccess=20
        rate restoring to unlike hardware, no matter what we did. Win 2000
was a bit better then NT 4.0 based
        systems, but still miserable. The files and directories come back,
but the registry entries are sketchy
        at best, usually non-existenet for installed software. Even
Metaframe had to be reinstalled. We currently
        use Legato, and after a conference call with Gartner, they say
everyone is in the same boat with
        Mocrosoft. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
