Remarkable Backup Hardware=tomshardware,xbit labs
Just when I needed something I'm happily surprised to find a product
that offers true bullet-proof backups without the anxieties or questionable restore issues that most current tools leave you with,anyway...reading of my favorite pc-info web sites Toms and Xbit labs both of whom rave about Radix Protector, I was immediately impressed but now wonder why such a marvelous tool has not really been known outside of the larger institutions/corporations and geek insiders especially when it will work perfectly with a home user? http://www.radixamerica.com/ And for the skeptical..no I do not work for Radix. |

It wont protect against the main failure, hard drive death. http://www.radixamerica.com/ And for the skeptical..no I do not work for Radix. |

Tomshardware has some Reviews of NAS-Appliances and USB-external enclosures.With some Backup-Software,you can have a "bullet-proof"-Backup. If you like it simple,use something like ghost.If you have time,use the built-in Backup of Windows (you have to Restore Windows,when Hardrive dies). The Radix USB-Key was tested some month ago and it offers only ONE Restore Point.Even Win XP allows you more then enough Restorepoints. A good Solution might be a Raid1 (Content of Disk1 is always written to Disk2) Setup and a external USB-Enclosure for not so important Files,which are already on CD or DVD. |

A hardware solution, and thus has lots of drawbacks over software ones.
Need to disassemble the case. No notebook/laptop support. And so on. -- Maxim Shatskih, Windows DDK MVP StorageCraft Corporation http://www.storagecraft.com |

The "MLP-Version" of the USB-Stick supports Notebooks. It costs around 150$,Ghost are available for 5$ (Version 2003).If you dont mind waiting half an Hour,it would be the best Solution.If you need Restore instant,you have to use Radix. But now comes the Drawback:Radix will restore your System to a certain Point.Tomshardware wrote that Documents have to be in a certain Directory to not be overwritten with a Restore.I dont know yet,if you could tell which Directories to keep.At worst,you have to copy all your Documents and Files into a new Directory,which might be a Problem for somebody (if you have different Network Shares and Radix relies on his own).You might asked Radix first,before buying this,if its an issue for you. |

Maybe this link/comparison at Radix will explain some of the questions
regarding software VS hardware restore issues..some interesting points without the usual over-hyping which is a welcome change. http://radixamerica.com/radix-vs-sw.htm |
