    Any good backup software for Windows Server 2003?

    Hi,

    Any good backup software that can do the following.

    1) Backup whole system image.

    2) Backup regular selected files folders.

    It must be able to do auto-rsync to another server that is located in another data center.

    I do note that alot of the software out there can do the backup to local drives, or server located within the network but not external network.

    If anyone know of any software that is capable of doing the following, do post here.

    Appreciate it! Thank you~

    I would also recommend r1soft. We have been using it since long and it has been rock solid!!

    Hey there,

    I had a good run with vembu. It was nice and fast, easy install and just all around went well. We tested it against trueimage and found vem to just be a nicer product to setup.

    Their support has been nice to deal with and they insist you try it before you buy it, and will give you a trial extension if it helps you.

    With that being said, we did talk to R1soft and found them to be incredibly pushy and not willing to want to give me a trial for more than a couple days. So much so that I chose not to actually complete the trial just because I was uneasy. While their product does look excellent, their price is up there if you only have a ocuple boxes to watch after.

    Thanks,

    ~Francisco

    You will only find out how good a provider is when the going gets tough
