Most power problems, etc, do not take out the drive, so taking out both

put my Excel and .doc and quickbooks data on a CD each month. Most of

to take to backup your system? Using a 2nd drive and xcopy and you can
boot in minutes. You running a business, depending on the data, then
get a raid system and large removable drives. And keep them offsite.

Full backup once a week, incrementals every night.

That's about the weakest form of "backup" there is. It's almost not
even worth
doing. Most things that cause data loss would cause loss of your backup
drive as
well. Virus? Power surge? Fire? Theft? File corruption? It's not really
a backup
if it is part of the computer. Backups, to be effective data
protection, need to
be on removable media, and stored offsite.

In business, you have a second server backing the primary. Use double
density CDs to backup the daily changes. Store them off site. That is
where
the secretary comes in handy. Every day she runs a backup and the discs
are
stored offsite.

For virus protection, unfortunately, Symantic Antivirus is a not a good
choice. From experience, it had changed all of the file dates on our
files
on our server to the current date when my sales manager did a search for
a
specific proposal. We banned Symantics at the office. Try to imagine
finding
the most recent version of a proposal or software when all the dates and
times are the same.


A regular rocket scientist you are. I've been using NAV for years and
hever had a problem with it on stand-alone or server-backed systems.

Try reading the manual or find yourself a sales manager who has.




RTFM still does not cure all the problems that NAV has at times. It screws
up lots of software, especially during upgrades and installs. You have to
deactivate it for certain processes. Better than most AV programs. And is
reasonable.
