A good program to backup from different machines to a server?

[starriol]

I need a software that allows me to control the files I want to backup from several PCs from a central server that also stores the backups splitted in DVD size to burn them directly.

Acronis true image enterprise sounded GREAT, but I could NEVER get the Management Console working, so I couldn't manage backups from other PCs.

Which one do you guys recommend for this?

i have never had problems with acrnois...

however, why dvd? why not an external hard drive? You could use ntbackup and put it on as a scheduled task, use robocopy to copy backups from server to external hard drive...all free and works well.

Another thumbs up for robocopy. It's what we use at the place I work.

Good thread. It made me want to see what robocopy is all about.

Robocopy in a batch script with a scheduled task is what I've always used. Works great, but won't split it into DVD sized chunks.

I'm trying right now smartsync pro and looks AWESOME, very simple yet powerfull.
