I've been tasked with creating a backup solution for a medical office of 6-8 computers. Each computer is only 75gb right now but will be replacing many of the hard drives as they are throwing SMART errors.
My initial plan was to go with a NAS device (LG or QNAP?) and installing Acronis for Business on each computer, and performing incremental updates daily. They use software that they "dial" into, so there actually isn't much or any mission-critical software on any of the computers. They want a backup solution to thwart future hard drive failures, as they've already had one and it took a fair amount of time to get the computer up and running (not to mention it took hours to find the XP key).
Thoughts? They want a couple of different options - Windows Home Server 2011 could also fit the bill. Solution has to be idiot proof and transparent.
