We have an internet server that serves the public. However this server is out side our firewall. The problem is, how do we backup the server? There are already plans to backup all other servers inside the firewall. There has been talk about using a product name Black Ice Defender, but nothing has come of it. Any suggestions?

AS far as I know, Black Ice Defender is a software firewall solution. I use it at home and it works GREAT!! But as far as backing up an internet server, there is no use for it. Please pardon my ignorance of the product if there is a backup solution involved with BID. It is not a bad idea to backup all critical system data, but I don't see why you can't use the same solution that you are using internally to backup the server on the external side of the firewall. Keep in mind that if you have a hardware firewall solution, it should not be replaced by a software firewall solution. It can be, if anything, strengthened by a software solution.
