Best backups??

[tutt]

Hello,
I am looking for the best way to do a daily backup of all plesk data, domains, databases, and especially MSSQL databases from one HDD to another. I am not using Acronis Trueimage. What is the best way to automate these backups? I do have some manually added MSSQL databases that Plesk does not seem to be aware of so I want those to backup whether or not Plesk realizes they are associated with any particular account. Remember, all I need to do is backup from one drive to another on a daily basis and maybe also keep a weekly copy of certain data. What do you suggest? I am proficient with Windows Host scripts and Batch scripts if that helps.

Hi,

To backup Plesk data use Plesk's backup tool(it has the ability for execution on a schedule basis):

http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/Plesk8.3/Doc/en-US/plesk-8.3-win-backup-restore-guide.pdf

MSSQL databases that were created through Plesk will be backed up.

To backup manually added databases you will have to use some additional way/tool.
