OFF TOPIC Windows Backup

[ron browning]

Get a RAID controller and mirror.  M$ wont back up certain operating files (like the boot! to protect their copyright).  Otherwise consider a second drive and back up data via a batch file
and "scheduler".

Sorry for the post but I need a little help, I know absolutely nothing 
about backing up a windows box. What I have is a stand alone Windows 
2003 Server box I need to backup nightly. I has a Vs160 tape drive, I'm 
trying to use this windows backup utility to schedule a nightly backup 
and it doesn't look like it fired last night. It had a brand new tape in 
it, I think it might have to do with that.

I don't have to use this, I'm just looking for something robust, that I 
can back the server up and restore it to another machine if it dies. 
Something kinda like tar. I can put it in another box and extract files, 
no cataloging, media sets, or other crap. Free is always good too.


Thanks,
Justin
