Looking for Windows backup with a catch

[scott Ehrlich]

I am looking for a backup program for Windows XP that can back up
mapped network drives to a physically attached tape library. There
are some catches:

- it must be able to perform incremental backups - the built-in backup
program can, but it doesn't seem to consider date/time stamp, thus
incremental backups really become fulls

- no special service, agent, or other software to be installed on the
hosts to be mounted and backed up - the backup program must be self-
contained, as is the built-in Win XP backup program.

Thanks for any leads.

Backups should only be done on the PC/server physically connected to the tape drive/library
or via a backup client over the wire. One reason, if you backup via shares the backup
software will NOT backup NTFS permissions.

Please contact CDW and talk to a representative about a full featured backup solution.

Personally, I like CA ArcServe.

XXCopy.exe (NOT XCopy.exe) will do that & more but is command line
driven but runs great from a batch file.

Norton's Ghost or Acronis' True Image.

XXCopy is the most flexible, efficient and speedy; a great application.
