Backup Hard Drive Removal
Posted on 2013-01-24
Hello Experts,
Can anyone recommend a quality backup device that is a hard drive removal?
The systems that I manage backing up may need 1tb to 2tb drives. I want to be able to remove the drive from the location and replace it with another drive to take off site. I would prefer to remove it from the device without having to unplug a USB or network cable.

I was looking for a more specific device recommendation such as brand and model and experience with the device.
Get USB docks, something like below:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0PG0F31458
The big advantage is that you can use almost any commercial HD available.

I second Andy's suggestion by using Imation,but you're capped at 1 TB and it ain't cheap.
My suggestion would be a hybrid of disk and tape personally.
Get a NAS for nearline storage and back up to tape for offline /off site.
Cheaper in the long run.

I have seen some other solutions when searching the internet, they are all a little expensive. rind's approach may be the best option for small business that don't have a large budget. I could purchase an external docking station for less than $100 and then the appropriate sized hard drive to interchange. The only part I don't like is the exposed portions of the hard drive as this adds risk to the media.
I agree with andy's approach but it is more expensive. It would reduce the risks of the exposed media parts from what I can tell.
