I have three servers, running on Winnt4.0 and win2k server. I want to make a back-up of all precious data in both server. What could be the best option I can do? reliable, easy to use and manage and quite fast. Thank you.

What you could do is use the Win2K Server to do the backup with the software that come with it. It is simple and will allow you to backup over a network link (Best way is map drives to the place you want to backup on the other servers).

Your other option is getting Veritas Backup Exec (which we use at the company that we are at) and schedule backups like that. I find that Backup Exec is excellent and very versatile.

Cheers ....

yes, we too have been using Vertias BackupExec for our NT Servers for the past 3 years. Map other NT Server drives, choose folder to backup & schedule backups at nght & forget (work will be over in the morning when you come). I have also tried Arcserve & IBM's LanWare but found Backup Exec to be pretty simple to handle.
i have External HP DAT & speed is about 27MBps. On an internal DAT Drive it could be more.
