Re: PC backup best practices

Sure there are better ways. How about:

1) The native windows backup client (NTBackup)? It can backup to any
file location including unc names (\\server\backups\PCxxx), it can be
scripted and stuck into the job scheduler on XP, and it knows how to
backup system state (both user settings, and os settings). This is what
we use for workstations and servers.

2) A 3rd party backup (winzip is archiving, not backup) product that
does the same thing. Say something like backupassist, or Symantec's
BackupExec. Something like backupexec will let you do bare-metal
restores too.
