Personally, I have had better luck with external SATA enclosures with hot swap removable hard drives.<br />
<br />
Like tapes, you can remove the drive once a desired period of backups has been performed, say a week. Once removed you can take them off-site.<br />
<br />
Because they are a SATA drive on the server itself, it is fast and not impacted by nor impacts the network.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
We are looking to change from tape backup to NAS backup and wondering if anyone have any recommendations on suitable NAS solutions.<br />
<br />
We do have an old Netgear NV+ NAS enclosure with gigabit Ethernet. This has four bays for hard disks. Would this be reliable and suitable enough?<br />
<br />
We are a small business, so do not have a bottomless pit of money and need to do this on a budget. We already have Symantec Backup Exec and Acronis for SBS 2008 to make image backups.<br />
<br />
Has anyone got any recommendations.....

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

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.
