Hi, In a windows domain, I've a separate file server machine with one 160 GB SATA for OS only and two 500 GB mirrored HDDs for data. What is the best way to take the backup of this data volume? Can I trust built-in Backup and Restore? First time normal and subsequent will be incremental backups. In case of a failure do I have to restore in the reverse order? I mean the full backup first and then all other one by one in the same order? Regards

do full backups each and every time. I don't bother with incrementals just because of that restore in sequence issue. ntbackup works fine. make sure to check system state for backup.
