Backup solution

[lilelvis2000]

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!

What kind of backup solution do you employ at home?

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.

I use Handy Backup, it's easy to use software. Has been using this application for years now.

After Acronis died on me in copy mode, i use Karen's Replicator every day and use acronis to create an image every week.

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.

Acronis does seem to have more problems doing simple file backups than images.

I'm just doing a disk clone using Acronis and the PC went into sleep mode. I woke it up and the screen is totally blank. The disk LED is on, so I think it's still churning, but I'm not exactly happy with the situation.
