Now, that is ironic. We all take the backups home to avoid the floods and fires and you get a fire at home. Sorry to hear about that.
As I posted somewhere earlier, Acronis used to be my favorite backup software by far. I always say it was rock solid, relatively inexpensive, and it worked. Flawlessly. It is ironic that the interface could have been a bit more "techy," but then they went crazy and starting coming out with Acronis Backup and Recovery 11 Server for Windows. I had to go back to school to learn how to work with it vaults and backups and this and that. Acronis started coming out with too many versions, too often that were too complicated. I wrote them and told me I was no longer using them due to these issues. They acted like they cared, but they actually didn't.
I was using both Acronis and Backup Assist. Now, locally, just Backup Assist. Straightforward, one version, with add-ons for Exchange and SQL. Plus, the wizard brings up a page of multiple backup destinations to choose right away such as network, SAN, NAS, external drive, DVD, flash drive, etc. The best part of BA is that it works using the native Windows backup program only it puts it on steroids.
Would love to hear about your JD discovery.
Please put the link here. Thanks.
