Hi.
Does anyone know of some free backup software that works with 2k8 x64 and allows me to backup to LTO2?
Basically i have a LTO2 drive on my home server but unfortunatelly, unlike the old 'ntbackup' the new built in backup software for windows server is cack!

Dont think anything free exists other than the built in software

why the hell do you need LTO at home? :confused:

You could try getting ntbackup working on Server 2008

Guide below is for Vista but should be same for Server 2008:

Because LTO2 will give him 200 Native and DAT wont come near that in either capacity or speed :confused:
