Installathon Backup Solution (?)

[Andy Zobro <ajzobro@xxxxxxx>]

Ok, I want to know exactly what our plan is for the backup of people's
hard drives.  If we are doing data backup and recovery then I'd like to
know the method we have chosen.

What I'm used to having for disk backups is:
a) A dedicated machine with a very large hard drive in it to store the
disk images on.  A copy of Norton Ghost to make the backup images.  A
lot of time.  (Ghost is almost a requirement for moving a window's
installation)
b) A cd-rw drive and just burn the important stuff
c) Another hard drive and copy:
   - in windows, the important data
   - in linux, the entire file system
d) for laptops: (a) and a laptop IDE adapter

So, who's hard drive(s) are we using...
Actually I don't even know what questions to ask, I recall something
about usb... but usb is way slower than sticking a hard drive in a
machine.

So, please enlighten me if you know more.
