>>A prospective customer asked me what back up system I recommend for VFP database? I am not sure what they mean (I got an email) but I gather they want to know of a name or two of backup software. Can you recommend a reliable software for VFP data backup?

>VFP data is no different than any other data files any good backup software that addresses your requirements would do well. In my opinion you should recomend a good software and not take the responsibility on yourself to develop a backup system.
>There are broadly 2 types of backup systems.
>1) Files Backup - few files or folders are backed up e.g.
www.backup4all.com>2) Disaster Recovery System OR Bare Metal Recovery - Entire Drive or Partitions are backed up and in case or a failure Entire System can be reloaded in one go. At the same time few files/folders can selectively be restored. e.g. Image for Windows

>Both examples are reasonably priced and have been tested by me thoroughly.
Aman,
Thank you very much for your help.
