Hello Experts,
I've been put in charge of completely re-structuring and upgrading a small business's system from the ground up. My biggest hurdle is finding a backup solution that is affordable, efficient, and does not require much attention. I'm looking for any advice on what is best to implement, what if any products should be used, and any general information on what other companies have done in the past.
Here is the setup:
There are two main offices, the first of which I have focused on the most. I replaced it with 10 dells (8 vista desktops, two laptops with xp pro) as well as with a new Dell 2900 Server running Server 2008.
No one moves from machine to machine, but they do login to the domain. What is the best way to backup these computers? I would implement roaming profiles but I will not be here past the summer and don't wish to leave them with the possibility of them breaking. Also, they use shares and I could implement shares just for backup, but would it make sense to write a script to copy over everything on log off or something like that?
The second site is similar but uses older computers (XP Pro machines and a Windows 2000 box) and I also have to worry about people who work off site with basically rogue computers with valuable information on them. These might be more tricky.
I hope that all makes sense. I'm just here for the summer so I'm trying to best implement a system that is not prone to break. They are also not the most computer literate people in the world so I'm trying to make it as automated as possible.
Thanks!
