By "Windows Server", do you mean Windows Server Edition or some
version of Windows set up to have a server role? In particular, I
have a Windows 7 Enterprise machine that I have in mind for this.<br>
<br>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Production life means a lot; I didn't
mess around when I did that. The server was Window 2000 Server
running Backup Exec that had ECC memory, triple redundant power
supplies, multi-UPS, four disk RAID 5 plus two hot spares along
and a tape loader library. It also had attached terabyte USB
storage if the auto-loader when down. I absolutely was not
interested in failures.<br>

for Backup Exec, but it was what I had to use.<br>

A bit late to this party, but if you're looking for an offsite
backup service I've been using Jotta Cloud and so far it's
pretty nice. Natively supports linux. Not too expensive
either. I'm paying

storage.</span><o:p></o:p><br>

Take a look at Veeam, specifically the “Community
Edition”. You should also be able to take a look at the
"Veeam Agent for Linux”, as you can simply run it on your
Linux box, and point it at an NFS share or USB disk. The
community edition of Veeam Backup and Recovery allows you
to backup 10 Physical or Virtual systems for free. It’s
only downside is that it needs to run on Windows.</div>

<div class="">I do nightly Veeam backups of all the VMware
VM’s that run my virtual DEC systems. This has saved me

<div class="">Bare metal Veeam restores are an option, since
you asked about “Bare Metal”, but that’s something I’ve
not tested.</div>
