Anyone knows of any backup software that would backup laptops as soon as they're connected to a network/LAN?
Thanks

I'm having good results with XP's built-in Synchronization utility. Another option is to configure MS Robocopy and run it from a login script.

I want the winxp pro computers to backup files at a schedulued time. So for ex.. at 5pm all laptops start transferin their backups to the server.
Also since we are talking about backups, does anyone know a good way to backup SQL database even if the database its being used or opened??

Hi,

I would recommend inSync software. It uses opportunistic scheduling vs calendar based scheduling, which backs up as soon as user sees available bandwidth over LAN/ WAN or VPN.

When the user logs in he/she opens email and other apps. InSync doesn't rush and waits 10 mins (after login) and then starts the backup.

Another smart thing -
It saves only a single copy of duplicated emails/docs across users. Saving over 90% backup time, bandwidth & storage.

New company, but a really cool product.
