IMHO You need to be considering backing it up to something you can take off site in case of disater. &nbsp;(Fire/earthquake/flood/tor<wbr />nado etc). &nbsp;LTO4 Tape would work.

Hi pjam, I &nbsp;agree, something removable would be better. &nbsp;Would LTO4 be faster than an app writing to ESATA?

Thanks piam, looks like I need to look in to DPM and LTO4 or 5, thanks for your help, points on the way.

Have a great day. &nbsp;DPM 2010 requires a W2k8 64-bit server which we aren't ready for yet but it promises good stuff.

Would some advise on a backup solution that they know works to solve the following scenario.<br />
<br />
We have a backup server that receives online backups each evening from client sites. &nbsp;The data is held on mirrored disks and has grown to almost 800GB’s. &nbsp;We want a backup of the data to be stored on either a NAS or ESATA disk and the daily data to then also be saved to the disk, can someone recommend something they think would be suitable. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also, could you estimate how long it may take to write the initial backup to the backup device?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Can some recommend a backup solution for...?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
