NetStream, by PCPC. New, so no people with long experience (and it's nice
to be double safe with backups!) and not cheap. I've not used it, only read
about it. It's the only one I know of that allows net administrator to back
up all macs and to fully automate it.
Fastback II (which I recently bought) doesn't do what you want, but comes seco
closest. You must run it on the machine with the hd to back up that hd. It
hthat the application be running for the scheduled macro to run; i.e., you
would have to tell everyone (or assign one person) to start fastback running
on all the macs at the end of the day, say, and then the scheduled macro
would run. Also, fastback doesn't have truly incremental backup (like, say,
redux); i.e., it will not overwrite backed up files, but always adds to the
backup volume. For tape, maybe that's what you want. I backup to server disk
(which is dumped to tape by unix tar) and it's not what I want. But close.
