Do you guys backup your main machines everyday? If so what software do you use for incremental backups?

extra hard drives and raid...

Is this for a server or your workstation?

For my Windows based workstation I use:

xcopy d:\* g:\d_drive\* /E /V /H /R /Y /I /D /C

you can get an explantion of xcopy with xcopy /?

That will do an incremental back-up . . . .

how fast is xcopy and can it be set to copy to a drive across a lan? (haven't used shit like this in many many years)

hey isn't it better to backup stuff to a external drive then a internal one? just in case you fry something and it fucks all your internal componets

I've been using Norton Ghost. Works great for me.
