At0mic Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 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?

uid0 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Palmer Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would say test a restore. I wouldn't trust this comment either without seeing it for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
