SBS 2003 backup help
Hi All,
I am looking to review our backup procedures in lite of the fact that I am now going to be backing up to NAS drives instead of tape which does away with space issues.
What I have;
SBS 2003 on Dell Peweredge 2600
Veritas SBS 9.0
NAS drives 3 (with folders set up for nas1 Monday, Thursday, nas2 Tuesday, Friday, nas3 Wednesday, Weekend) these are in a building 500 yds away but on the same network.
What I would like to know is the best policy to enable a restore in the event of a sever failiure, I would like to be able to restore as much as possible without having to do a clean install and set up computers, users etc.
What selections would i need to make in veritas?
What type of backup, Full, incremental etc?
would i need to create any restore disks from veritas?
How would I go about a restore?
As you can gather I am very new to Veritas.
Any more info required, please ask,
Keith

Jeff,
I have looked at this document before and one of the first things that it says is to install sbs 2003 which is what i am trying to avoid. I guess ultimatley I am looking for the equivelent of Ghost for XP, bu using Veritas.
If it is not possible can anyone suggest a ghost that will work with SBS 2003?
