Backups

What is the best way to perform a backup? I'm not really talking about copying important files directly to a flash drive, DVD-R, etc. How do you guys perform backups? Windows built-in backup, downloadable software, etc.?

Veeam for virtual environment. It rocks! And Windows default backup scheduling to my NAS. NAS backed up to external hard drives off-site.

Veeam and Symantec at work.

At work we are an MSP and re-sell a re-branded version of Ahsay that we call Backup-ez and Server-ez and we also sell Datto. Datto is impressive with the ability to spin up VMs on the device and in the cloud.

I am a big fan of Veeam personally, if your environment would benefit from it that is. We are a Veeam reseller also.
