What software do you use to do backups with IDE Drives?? I am going to buy a 3ware card and 4 IDE drives (160 GB) to do a RAID 5. What software (free or commercial) can i use???? The architecture will be a server (with the raid) an several clients, mostly Linux, but posibly solaris (and perhaps some windows :-( Thanks in advance...
