Best, affordable B/U software for DAT drives
|
|
|
| What would be the best, affordable software for backing up to a DAT drive. I would also like a bare-metal restore option. Dantz Retrospect is too expensive. The software is okay at $129, but the disaster recovery add-on is another $225.
Any ideas would be deeply appreciated/

Novabackup - been trying it myself for 3 weeks, not had any problems yet.

| Why do you need the disaster recovery add-on?
Dantz Retrospect Pro edition already includes disaster recovery.

| Howard,
When I read the info on their web site, I did not take away the impression
that it would do a bare metal restore, i.e. a complete restore of all
software without FIRST installing the OS and them the backup software. Are
you saying that the Dantz Backup software that sells for about $125 will do
a bare metal restore?

| Yes.
Retrospect allows you to create a disaster recovery CD that installs a
temporary OS.
Retrospect can be purchased for about $80. See www.pricegrabber.com.

| Retrospect has a LOT of overhead in the way it works.
