I am looking for a cheap back-up solution for our NT/2000 server network. Is there any place on the web that talks about the back-up options. What is a good, affordable back-up solution?
Hi, If supported by Win2000; I think DVD recordables/rewritables are cheap. I prefer DDS tapestreamers myself, but it takes Arcserver, a tapedrive, tapes and a SCSI board to work good. Regards, Rob.

Cheap...a word that you should not use if your data is important. However...
It depends on your data and how often you need to back it up. If you plan on backing up daily then a tape backup is what you want. If weekly is ok, look into either CD/DVD burners or USB drives.
Backup software usually comes with the product, but you want to make sure before you buy that the software will do what you want, like automated backups, failure notification, or that is it just plain easy to use.
Hope that leads you into many more questions ;-)

DVD burners are not cheap...not yet. To date, the best and least expensive method is still a good tape drive and large capacity tapes.

get a DLT and Arcserve. For a large corporate NW CDR/DVDRAM is a HORRIBLE way to back up !
