Windows Server Backup Solutions - Over 3TB
Hi
I have a client who has a Server running Windows Server 2008 R2, it currently has just under 4TB of data stored on it and this is getting larger all the time, this data needs backing up, as you will know there are issues with backing up to USB Drives over 2TB on windows server backup for 2008 R2. To get round this we have split the backups so different data is backed up on different days, this works for now but is not a ideal solution. Has anyone got a solution for backing up 4TB and more on Server 2008 R2, maybe some kind of NAS? or a different software solution? I've done some digging on the internet and on hear and cant find a lot.
Thanks in Advance.

we don't quite have that much, but i am using Backup Exec 2014. We also have a 12TB NAS. We have the servers backup to the local disk then from there it is duplicated to the tape (LTO5). We also do DE-duplication which significantly drops the backup amount, but every Friday we do a full backup. The NAS is actual just a Dell server with a lot of hard drives and a full OS that runs the backup exec.
A cheaper solution would be backup to NAS using Hard Disk Manager 15 Business: http://www.paragon-software.com/small-business/hdm-business/
It has no problem when imaging to 4K drives like Windows Server Backup has.
