I still vote scheduled task on lunch hour for client machines, overnight for servers. The first run will take some time for sure, but following runs will be complete within a couple minutes. Have it run daily or every other day..
you can also add an "XCOPY" command to the batch for making backups. ...which will help guaranty data integrity.
Next time I'm back at my old company checking in on their machines, I'll grab a copy of the long batch that I wrote for them.
It copied about 10 directories to several partitions and network drives, then cleaned up, then defrag'd them all. Bi-weekly and daily backups. 17 years of cable customer data and 30 years of telephony sales records was never lost, even after harddrive failures. My mapping database for Alltel was also true enuff for them to call back to me to provide them witha backup due to a server failure. |
