Backup strategy
I am looking for advice with reference to a new backup strategy:
We are purchasing new servers as follows:
1 * Exchange server
1 * AD server
Both of these will be rack mountable. In terms of backup my first thought was to go with a tape dive on each server and backup separately. However would I be better off looking at external storage shared between the servers and simply backup from this.
On my current server I am using Symantec Backup Exec 11dExec and a Quantum Super Loader library.

Thanks for the comments.
If its speed then an external SAN or NAS might be worth looking at, really does depend on how much data, speed of your network etc
