I use BackupPC to backups all machines to a RAID 1. That's the data sorted. I'm figuring out how I can use CloneZilla to image each server and machine - and to where!

I have a very simple IT setup and currently save all my data to an external USB HDD.
I really, at the very least, need to buy another external drive as a secondary backup location with a view to automating backups between the two drives.
Curious to see what others do and how they process their backups.Comment

After Acronis died on me in copy mode, i use Karen's Replicator every day and use acronis to create an image every week."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

After every major install/patch/update I use this feeby to copy an image of the drive to an external HDD (don't forget to create a boot disk), then run a batch file to copy docs/spreadsheets/music/piccys/emails etc to a USB stick.
Restore is a doddle and works a treat.Comment
