RE: [FW1] NT Backup Solution for Firewall

["James Noble" <noblej@mindspring.com>]

We do the same, however, without "workstation" services installed (we don't
trust NT...), we have to manually start our backups.  It has not become a
problem yet, and with the command line nature of NTBackup, we use the
following batch file defined for auto-execution.

@echo off
ntbackup backup c: d: /t normal /b /hc:off /l "c:\wbackup.log"

---
where:

/t Specifies the backup type. Option can be one of the following: normal,
copy, incremental, differential

/b Specifies that the local registry be backed up.

/hc:on or /hc:off  Specifies that hardware compression is on or off. [We
have it OFF for speed]

/l "filename" Specifies the filename for the backup log.

The standard NT Backup program is the simplest way. It doesn't have any
scheduling capability, but it can be run from the command line, so it's easy
to
use 'at' to schedule a batch file to run nightly or whenever you need it to
run.
You don't get a database of files that have been backed up like you do with
ArcServe, but if you're backing up the same directory(s) all the time this
doesn't really matter.

And it's best advantage - it doesn't cost anything!

Subject:  [FW1] NT Backup Solution for Firewall





Hi all,

I am trying to find some form of backup solution for a
Firewall (apart from doing it the dirty way of backing
up the \conf directory etc).

What I'd like to do is have local backups to a tape
drive, note that I don't want to perform backups over
the network. From what I've seen of Arc Server and
Backup Exec these both require NT services such as
workstation and/or server to be running in order to
work. Naturally on a hardened firewall these services
are removed.

Has anyone on this list heard of something which would
enable me to do this?

Regards
Mike
