Retrospect
Agent
Reader comments compiled by Mitch Tulloch

| Although it isn't a fully functional backup
utility, the Retrospect Agent allows you to make a copy of your pub and
priv.edb's along with the logs at any time. It also allows you to run
incrementals at a pre-defined time of the day per your own decision. I
usually run the Retrospect and have it backup the databases to an entirely
different server(via a mapped drive) altogether in the event that my
Exchange goes down. At least then I have recent copies of the .edb's on
another server's drive. Nothing can top a full tape backup, but this is an
easy addition to your disaster recovery list. It requires very little
configuration and it's a great tool. I haven't seen anything about it on
Swync so I just thought I'd drop a suggestion.
You've probably heard of it already, but if not, it's
out there.
