NT4 Srv + W9x WkSt Backup + Disaster Recov Help

[RonReaugh]

I'm using BENT 8.5 in a small business environment. Where should I be looking for server disaster recovery: IDR option, BareMetal or Ghost/DriveImage followed by BUEX file deltas? Is BENT 8.6 worthwhile/needed?

Also with respect to workstation/client BU, I know that BENT has workstation agents for W9x. Do these agents get the current/latest user.dat/system.dat(registry) from the clients computers; is there an open file problem here? What is the optimal(choices) disaster recovery
strategy/techniques for workstations? I was thinking of taking a Ghost image of each workstation and then keeping BENT deltas from the date & time of the Ghost image but that only works if BENT W9x agent gets the latest registry etc. from the workstations??

Check out unitrends.com. 2 weeks ago I purchased a DPU which is a baremetal disk to disk solution. I can keep on using my VRTS backup if I choose. It was expensive to add / upgrade VRTS just to use the bare metal 15K.

Unitrends was less than 6K and you have unlimited clients / servers... cool stuff.
