Kicker3 Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 I'm looking for some direction on a good Backup Software. FM help suggests:A good third-party backup program should provide multiple copies of a database as sources for restoration. A scheme involving rotating backups can accomplish this. Typically, this method involves separate backup copies over no less than a two-week rotation. The file is backed up to a set on day one, a new set on day two, until ten sets of backups exist (assuming a five day work week). On the eleventh day, the first set is reused. This type of rotation ensures that a lurking problem will not spoil your chances of a complete file restoration. But where do you find something lioke this. Any suggestions will be appreciated very much

Ted S Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 We use Veritas Backup Exec for all of our systems inculding FileMaker. I personally don't deal with it much but our network guys seem to like Veritas. It may be out of your budget but it fits us well. Here's a link: http://www.veritas.com/Products/www?c=product&refId=57

dkemme Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 Make sure you are not copying files that are currently open! Either close the file or use FMServer to backup and then copy/burn this file.

Kicker3 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Posted March 15, 2005 Ted Thanks for the reply, but it looks like veritas is for a server. I'm looking for a backup program for my pc (not a server) Thanks I'll keep looking I'm sure I find something.
