So I am looking for advice on backup strategy and SW.
I loved the way Windows Home Server would create incremental image based backups which I could easily restore by booting to the recovery disk and pointing to my server. When my wife's hard drive failed this just about saved my marriage....put in a new blank HDD and recovery boot disk, a few hours later all was good.
I would like to do this on my 5104T, any suggestions on what software to use, Acronis, NTI, Paragon?
Any experiences you can share on best practices?
Thanks
Client backup software

Re: Client backup software
I take a different way around.
I use windows, combined with EaseUS backup - and creates whole backups.
I create them, although they take up much more space - because that I have had problems with incremental backups before, because one of the backup-files got corrupt.
My suggestion: Let windows do the "hard-cpu work" (Easeus works fine in the background, one can browse etc, without noticing the backup-proces) - and let the NAS "take and keep" the backup-outputfile.
For more security, I also keep 2-3 of the last backups on the PC, to be able to rool back (if for instance, a sleeping vira/etc starts to make life hell).
