Can anyone help me with finding some dvd backup software.

We have a server (with dvd-writer) and a backup server (with dvd reader). Our backup plan is to write an incremental backup to dvd and restore it to the backup server on a daily basis so if the server dies then we can put the backup in its place.

I'm looking for some software which has a scheduler, can do incremental backups and can write to dvd-r/dvd-rw. I've tried various software - novabackup, geniebackup, instantbackup - I've had problems restoring the backup and the scheduler failing to start the backup.

I would be very grateful if someone could recommend some software.

Thanks

J

Hi,

ThHe former Veritas software ExcecBackup is now called BackupMyPC and can be bought from "StompInc.com". The version I run is v4.85
and supports files, DVD+R and tapes. Running it currently for backups on Win2k as well as Win XP Pro WS is going fine without any complaints. However, backing up a server I would recommend rather a tape then a DVD (utilizing the same software) because of the limited capacity of a DVD (4.7GB) and the large capacity that usually goes along with a "server".
