<<ackpht>> I just realized this has nothing do to with ASP coding, and I put this in the non-forum ASP help forum. Please move this to it's appropriate location. THanks!
================== Hey there. Got some questions, looking for experience that everyone's had regarding backups and redundancy.
I'm running a Win2k server and SQL2k (I may run two redundant servers if needed). I have a number of databases (some in Access2k) and ASP pages, as well as a number of different websites that are being managed by other people.
I'm looking to get the following: 1) Solid, quickly usable and recoverable backups 2) Potential redundancy if one server dies
Obviously, I could use the basic MS Backup system and some scripting to make backups of appropriate files (still have to go through a rebuild post-disaster). Or, I could mirror a drive (doesn't help when the drive gets corrupted though).
A friend has mentioned software such as Octopus and DoubleTake. Seems like they have some cool features, but not sure of their functionality though.
None-the-less, I'm looking for complete open-ended discussion on what kind of options are out there, and/or what you've done or are currently doing for redundancy and backup solutions.
Thanks for the input!
