Looking for suggestions for backups:
Current situation:
3 data servers: daily tars copied to a 4th server with a tape
backup running at night. The local PCs are NOT backed up,
nothing is supposed to be stored there.
The tape drive has died: a replacement is around $3,000. The
tapes were convenient because somebody could take them home next
night and rotate.
The backups are right now 40Gb, but could easily be reduced to
10Gb.
What can you suggest so that somebody can take the backup home?
Well, a different approach, but one that would probably work...
Drop a couple hundred bucks to get 4 or 5 external USB hard drive cases, and
another $500 for a half-dozen IDE drives to go inside of them.
Then just sync/copy to the external disk and take that offsite.
