[PCTECH] how to back up a small PC network?

["Mark Villa" <markvilla@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used Veritas in the past.
I have tried tapes, CD-R's and am now considering DVD's as a one time media to 
store weekly backup's on.
That is a little more pricey but holds a lot of data.
It almost makes more sense to have a small junk PC with LOTS of storage (since 
DASD is cheap) and just push the backup to it.
My most recent backup of 1 PC was like this. I am not sure I can restore it 
though. I used the native MS backup.
I am assuming I have to install Windows 2000, or floppy boot then restore the 
backup, and then hope it works.
And MS Backup failed a few times, before it completed successful.

I think I would rather have a small appliance that backs up all PC's assigned 
to it.
Like a small SAN I guess.
Any of you guys do rock solid backup's of PC's or do we all Ghost?
