How can you backup/restore scheduled tasks on NT4?

[tech187]

I have a NT4 server with 50-60 scheduled jobs running. In the event of a drive failure I will like to be able to restore all these jobs without doing in by hand one at a time. Is this possible? Thanks for any help.

RAID....

No, not the famous bug spray, not elite British commandos, not LA S.W.A.T. teams, nor even hunger-crazed teens descending on your fridge...

(R)edundant (A)rray of (I)nexpensive (D)isks... depending on the balance of reading, writing, volatility, etc... you may want to look into RAID 1 (Mirrored array) or RAID 5 (Striped array with parity)...

Of course it may be expensive; but if anyone asks about the cost, compare mantime to restore versus onetime cost of new hardware/implementation (yes I know it's more than that; but this forum doesn't need the whole thing)

Of course, there are many other components that might fail and I'd advise looking into building a full contingency plan for component failure of all types... CPU, Memory, Disk, Network, Tape, etc... and possibly even site failure (fear, flood, fire, foe, etc.)...

Good Luck!!

The server already has Raid, but for DR testing we pretend out building completely burnt down and all we have to work with is offsite backup tapes. I am looking for the config files that hold the actual jobs. Thanks
