Server 2K3 Backup

[Torrevez]

I am just about to build a small NAS box for our 2k3 servers which will be located in a different building on our site basically giving us an offsite backup.

The hardware side of things am fine with. Its just the software, I really can't decide which is the best method to backup the data so am now asking for suggestions.

Thanks

What data - system state? Or files and folders?

For files, I'm a broken record; always recommending Robocopy as it's free, built in and powerful. There are plenty of alternatives though.

just going through the same and have built a freenas server and am going to be using backup assist on the server

Both system state and data. Not in the same backup though.

I have used Robocopy before on my personal server at home, so that could well be an option.

For system state I have just used the built in backup utility before but I fell its not very user friendly.
