Bumping this thread because I have a backup question.
I just got a used machine handed to me for free that contains an Ecrix VXA-1 tape drive. Not a bad deal since the drive alone retails for quite a bit of money! Thing is barely used. The server isn't that great, its for a small office type job and its only got a celeron processor but it does have a LSI MegaRaid card with two 80 gb drives mirrored in it. Its perfect to replace the old P3 desktop I was using as my home file and mail server for my family.
Anyways - cut to the chase - I want to utilize this tape drive the best I can to back up my data and mail. I'm running windows 2000 sp4 and exchange 2003 sp1 (overkill? yes absolutely). I need to backup exchange and my files to the tapes. I would love to use something like Backupexec since I am familiar with it from work experience but i can't spend money on this project, I'm pretty much on a budget of next to nothing and backupexec I think costs a TON. I want to know if I should just use NTBackup or do you guys know of a better program to use that cost is negligible and can backup exchange with the stores mounted?
Thanks a ton.
