<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have several clients using NASbackup which is a windows shell to a cygwin rsync client. That allows you a whole lot of options at the back end. It's easy, user friendly, robust and makes it easy for you to generate reports, monitor users, etc<BR>

Subject: [TLUG]: Backing up Window clients<BR>
<BR>
Hi pals,<BR>
<BR>
Last week, one of the company employee lost her laptop. This triggered<BR>
the management to mandate that there need to be automated backups<BR>
daily. I am therefore looking for application to do automatic backups<BR>
of clients computers. Naturally, these are mainly Window platform. I<BR>
am aware of amanda, but have no experience with using it and most of<BR>
the documentation out there seem a little dated. I am however inclined<BR>
to take this routes unless convinced otherwise, as it seem to support<BR>
HP C5683A SCSI system currently in place.<BR>
<BR>
Does someone here use amanda and what is their experience with it?<BR>
i.e, How reliable is this application? What are the other alternatives<BR>
out there and how do they compare with amanda? Any advice would be<BR>
appreciated<BR>
<BR>
Regards<BR>
William<BR>
