Software for Backups on NT4 Server

I'm looking to make automated backups on our NT4 server. It has a 60gb raid array, and I have installed a 20gb IDE disk in the server. I would like to back up certain things from the raid array either weekly or nightly to the 20gb IDE disk. The backup software that comes with NT4 server doesn't appear to operate that way. Does anyone know of any software that would do this? I don't need a whole backup software package, just something simple.

Thanks.
 
Well what exactly do you want to backup? If you just need files/folders then use a batch file and schedule it. Something simple like
'xcopy c:\userdata e:\backup\userdata' would work. If you need to backup a database server (i.e. M$ sql server) there is a way to schedule backups in the management tools. You can write the entire DB to a file.

Now if want you really want is to only backup those files which have changed since the previous backup, then you will need to use VBscript or Jscript to script it. You can get the references from microsoft.com as well as devguru. You'll want to use the filesystem object.

Is this for home, or for a company? If it is for home, then I would research what bignick said. If this is for a business, I would highly recommend getting Veritas BackupExec 8.6 for your system(s).
