backup solution for sbs?

hi,

is there any other backup software that does online backup for sbs2003? I
need a realtime backup software where it can even backup the system drives?
Something very similar to GHOST but ghost require u to have a downtime to
actually backup the system drives. Are there any other backup solution that
does not require a downtime?

How about SBS Backup?

What's wrong with the backup software from SBS2k3?

I am using it and more than happy. You can actually backup
a live server because it does shadow copies. After a manual
backup it will also ask you to insert a blank floppy so you
can create your recovery disk.

does the sbs backup allow you to backup the system drives as well? as in
windows boot parititon and system data? 'Coz i need to backup the exact same
system drives to another drive. Thus when this server goes down with data in
windows files getting corrupted, i can quickly restore it with that backup.

Instead of reinstalling the windows and just restoring the data files and
configurations files?

Yes... but you think this occurs often or something? ;-)

i see...i was always under the impression that the sbs backup is only mainly
for "data" backup... thus if anything goes wrong, i still have to manually
reinstall sbs2003 and restore the data files.

thanks, i'll try out the backup then

Wait. I don't think that SBS's backup does bare metal restore so you have
to reinstall the OS. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
