Complete System backup

I have 3 systems on a domain, SBServer 2003, Vista Business SP1, and XP Pro
SP3. There is a total of 1.2 TB of combined Internal storage. Plenty of
room for a complete system backup. Do I have to buy an external drive to get
the backup?

Re: Complete System backup

No, you don't. But, you do want to have a place to store the backup. Either
on a different system, external drive, DVD's, etc... Otherwise, if the
system goes down, taking the hard drives too, then your backup is gone.

But, you can backup over the network, on to DVD's, or an internal drive.
Just make sure it's safe!
