Backing up Win2K with SBS
I have a Windows 2000 server running Microsoft SBS (Small Business Server) which I use as my DC and an Exchange server. I have been running this a few months and have never implemented anything to back it up. I was wondering if someone here could recommend the easiest was to backup the entire drive. If the drive fails, I do not want to have to reload the OS or SBS server again. Any suggestions?

Yup, BackupExec does support Backup To Disk volumes of any size and location, but backup to USB (even USB2.0) will be very slow

Great thanks James. So is it quite easy to restore the enitre system?

If you buy the Intelligent Disaster Recovery module it is possible to restore your entire system from clean with only a CD (which it creates for you) and the last backup - very cool and quick too.
