Hey guys, I need to setup a staggered backup for a server. The computer is running nt 4 and has 2 external hard drives. External hard drive A is a 40 gig and external hard drive B is a 160 gig. The computer also has an internal drive as well. I need to make a backup every 2 days. I would also like to 2 backup sets in place (in case one becomes corrupt). I need to backup 2 directories on the internal C: drive, and the entire external hard drive A (6-7 GB) to the external drive B. I also need to have 2 backup sets on the external drive b (ie "backup set 1" directory and "backup set 2" directory). I have downloaded WinAT bu I am unsure how to use it. I have much experience at making Bat files in dos-98. Can someone help me?
Don't know much about WinAT. The sofware i use in such cases is Acronis true Image 8.0 which has shedueler for backups, i mean you are able to set the time of periodical backup, than it's able to create the number of images you need and protect'em by password.Another one good feature is that this software doesn't reboot after imaging(backing up) ends. And it's very convinient. Also it has an option called incremental backup so you don't need to make a backup of all system every time. And the last feature: free forum support which gives you answers anyour questions during 24 or 36 hours.

Why do you not respond. I mean it would be great if you write about your expirience or how does it work for you. I'd like to read it and your response will be helpful for smbd else who has the same problem or nearly the same.
