I agree to acronis too. but it falls back on what you want to backup. this is more for image backup or other backup you want to run

if just for normal data, ntbackup will do fine too.

We use Acronis
and do the same process as stated by the others

works well
and we have had to use the backups before on a recovery.

Hi,

Without any further information/need, I’d second David2009.
Embedded with ntbackup you have the possibility to backup you “System State” which is needed if you want to do restore an Active Directory server. It also provides backup of:

- system registry;
- COM+ database;
- Certificate Services;
- Sysvol;
- IIS metabase;

If you have a specific need, just post back.
