back up xserve
I am buying a new Xserve hopefully with 4 tb of data storage. I have an old xserve raid with 500 gb drives in it. I am told in total that the raid has 2.7 tb of data storage. I would like to use the old raid to back up the new xserve. What software / hardware will I need to get this going? Im guessing I would have to replace the 500 gb Hard drives with 1 tb drives. What software would be necessary to start an automatic backup schedule?

Keep in mind, that article is 6 years old :)
take it for a 30 day spin and you be the judge.
I have used retrospect and would have to disagree with some of the comments. It works and does exactly what is need for backup. There are not may native enterprise leve backup options for OS X and I don't consider Time machine one of them either.
Another option is Prosoft Eng Data Backup X

What do you think of this? http://www.tolisgroup.com/products/bruapp/
Looks interesting..Give one of the other two options a try for 30 days. It seems pricey.

Hi, any updates from the choices provided?

I did not know CCC was so useful. Retrospect looked good also. I have decided to go with the Bru solution. Another network admin in my district said we should keep it uniform. Hes more senior than I so I will go with his plan. Thank you!
