I have them all :), you name it.. external hard drives, internal hard drives (multiples OS boot), take home dvd, Acronis, Home Server, AC off site (100 meg file every night). But still not enterprise level .... little guy setup....
Yes enc. backup Bert. I had backup from Imported last week. Not yet backing up for this week.
A full restore is only when nothing else possible. i don't like full restore at all. I had RAID before but 2 drives failed, then motherboard failed. A restore from backup not good if changing over to a different motherboard, MB getting obsolete quick too. At one time I did buy an identical MB but did not test it... then when needed the untested one not working, and that model discontinued...Talking about uncertainty.. anyone physics undergrad?
what good is RAID if PC going bad? If you are not that lucky then 99% redundancy still not doing you good. But my setup is almost invincible. I did explain it in my other post. Multiple backups at the clinic, another full setup at home, identical config main computers with multiple OS boot. The most is one day data lost, still that not affordable ( 25 charts to reenter )
Probably multiple OS boot is one of best backup options also.
But still the hassle of imported items restore. Even I am not that sharp anymore but delete files in 30 folders? The folders were there but many files missing. I tried AC support today but they were not available, to see if any way to trace how those files being deleted. AC has the utility to check for missing links and make a report, and import missing files (browse for files to be imported but not sub folders)
So the missing files cause either by AC or the free SyncToy program from Microsoft. I've been using SyncToy with 'Echo' option for years (means nothing to delete). I have to manual sync our AC to hard drives, at least once a day, my Acronis also running twice a day full system drive backup. Delete while under... early dementia onset? haha... I need to see one of our AC docs. Bert and James are one of our Sql server expert here, so my questions is any log to trace imported items? any utilities available for sql express? No budget to upgrade to full sql and I passed the point to play with codes. AC is not fully SQL implemented as it still keep imported items staying outside of sql security and redundancy.
