Reviewing R1Soft CDP Server for Windows 2003 Server

Hi I've been reviewing different backup solutions for our windows based web server and based upon price points I am going to take a serious look at R1Softs CDP software. I like the fact that it can do a bare metal restore with a block level image backup.

Ive used Acronis True Image Home on workstations but thought the version for the server was a bit more pricey than I wanted. Also, I have had a few problems with Acronis and cant afford any on this server.

The other software I've used for years is mirrorfolder. Just recently they have updated to handle "mirroring" of drives using a RAID "Driver" to do so. So as a record in a database is updated, the same update is done to the other disk using mirrorfolder.

So for now at HHI Computer Guys we will be checking into these two data backup solutions.
