Therefore, I'm now looking for a good commercial backup program for
my<br>
server and my network, and is smart enough to get past any
permission<br>
problems, and finally, a smart copy that only backs up the files
that<br>
have changed, as the amount of data I must now backup requires
that<br>
level of efficiency (each of 3 crucial volumes on my server contain
an<br>
average of 12GB of important data). I tried Retrospect a couple of<br>
times, but that was well before switching to MacOS X about a year
and<br>
1/2 ago, and I wasn't too impressed with it then. Has anyone used
Data<br>
Backup by Prosoft Engineering? It looks promising and it looks like
I<br>
can outfit several workstations economically.<br>
