I've got 5 servers that I need to back up, with storage capacities ranging from 150GB to 500GB. I originally purchased NovaBackup for the purpose (5 copies), as I've used version 7 before, and it was generally good, working software. However, version 10 is absolute JUNK! Horrible, horrible software. Constantly crashing, not backing up, locking up, etc.

I wouldn't touch NovaStor software with a 10-foot pole at this point, as I've been trying for a couple months now to get it working and it has never worked 100% properly on all of the servers. Last night, only 2/5 of the servers actually attempted to back up at all, and both had errors that actually prevented a full backup.

I am sick of attempting to use this horrible software, so I need a new solution! Here's what I need:

• Ability to back up to a tape drive or external HDD
• Ability to back up SQL databases
• Enterprise level/quality software (No Acronis or anything that isn't meant for server use)
• Capability to track and restore from multiple indexed backups (it knows what backups were made on what tape/drive and when)

Um, but Acronis does have a dedicated server-class backup offering.
http://www.acronis.com/backup-recovery/advanced-server/

It can do tape/HDD backups and multiple dated backups. Don't know about SQL support, though.

Lol, well obviously someone didn't do his research before asking a question.

Anyway, the reviews on newegg for Acronis didn't exactly encourage me, so I didn't bother looking. Does anyone have a solution they currently use for server backups, and if so, what is it?
