Hey guys -
I need help deciding on backup solution for a client who's an architect. Their is 3 workstations and 1 Windows XP machine serving files. Very basic system.
They were backing up to DVD but started having problems with open files. I then installed Genie Backup Pro, which I have found to be great for simple backups (usually use it for home user environments). This just recently starting giving problems.
Any suggestiosn for a better backup to DVD program? Nero stopped working because of open files I believe (use to have it...)
I have tried to convince them to just start using Mozy Pro, but they think internet backups are unreliable.
They have 10GB of data now, but that should grow. I need something more reliable. Budget is fairly low, but I was thinking some form of tape drive. I have a used Iomega Rev at the office that worked pretty well but Veritas only allowed to backup to disk not actually backup to tapes.
Was also thinking of getting a set of cheaper external hard drives, but i dunno.
Also this has to be either IDE, or USB. "server" is just a cheap desktop.
What do you guys suggest?
Thanks,
Dan
