alex Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Can anyone recommend reliable yet affordable tape backup software for Windows 2008? Don't need fancy features Backup Exec has. Something more down-to-earth like ntbackup.exe to transfer files on tape. Thanks ) Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted January 22, 2009 FPCH Admin Posted January 22, 2009 Alex, why not use the backup tools within Windows 2008? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770266.aspx for an overview of the rolls available. I use it to batckup my servers. I also use DeltaCopy to backup files and settings to my home server. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
alex Posted January 22, 2009 Author Posted January 22, 2009 Windows tools will be used without of a doubt but since there is no support for tape devices in Windows 2008, I will have to scratch my head. Quote
FPCH Admin AWS Posted January 22, 2009 FPCH Admin Posted January 22, 2009 I didn't realize there was no tape backup option. I backup to another hard drive and then use DeltaCopy to sync it with my offsite server. Quote Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
mmthomas Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 It's a few months since you asked, but take a look at Bacula and see if it would work for you. There is a commercial version and support in addition to the free version. Bacula does support at least some tape drives, but most free/open source backup programs that I've seen do not. They also appear to only have the storage/director daemons for 32-bit Server 2008 and only the client for 64-bit 2008, though hopefully that will change. Quote
softlover Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 Hey, our company needs a backup software for server. We can't afford Acronis or Paragon. Our budget on the software is less than $300. I found easeus todo backup server..anyone have any idea about the software? Quote
