Home Network Backup Solution?
What I have:
One laptop with DVD burner, running XP pro
One desktop running XP home.
One desktop running windows ME
One desktop running Ubantu Linux
What I need:
The ability to back up all machines (except perhaps the Windows ME machine) onto the DVD of the laptop. The software needs to do an initial full backup, which will require spanning several DVDs. From there on out, I will need to incremental backups. Would be nice to be able to restore individual files. I?ve used Legato Networker at work before, and really liked it, but $2k for Legato is not something I?m going to do for a home network. Free OSS solutions would be the best, of course, but a commercial solution is probably what I will need to go with - just not one which costs $2K.
-Thanks
As many have suggested, Acronis True Image seems like an excellent solution... only the prices I'm seeing are in the $1000 range - Still many times what I can pay. Network backups would be viable, except I'm on dial-up which doesn't even get 28.8K. If not backing up the Linux box can open me up to a consumer priced solution, that would also work, since $1K is way more than I can spend on a home network. -Thanks

Best Network Backup Solution?
We're considering a backup solution for our small business network, and we're looking into many solutions (tape backup, external hard drives, Network Attached Storage). I'm leaning toward using NAS with a program such as Norton Ghost due to cost. Speed is not an issue, but reliability is. Any considerations as to why we should buy a $4500 tape backup with autoloader as opposed to, say, a couple of 500GB/1TB NAS drives which can be rotated offsite for about 1/5 the cost? We've just never had a backup solution here, and I'm new to all of this, and need advice. Thanks.
