![Backup Exec]()
Hi,
I have Symantec Backup Exec software running Windows 2008 server and there are qty. 5 of 500GB external USB hard drive (Monday thru Friday. With that I have two questions:
(1) Instead of connecting and disconnecting these 500GB external USB drives each and every day, can I replace all 5 of these with one 4TB external USB drive and let Symantec Backup Exec overwrite old data as necessary?
(2) If I want to keep two 4TB drives and label them "WEEK1" and "WEEK2" and swap them every Monday, will that work?
Thanks.
Drives*1 - What happens if your building burns down 5 seconds before the backup finishes? You have lost your data and your backup
Drives*2 - Better, but are you able to cope with losing a weeks worth of backups if your building burns down 5 seconds before the last backup completes
DRives*5 - Better still - you only lose 1 days worth of data, assuming you take the tapes offsite every day
