I setup an HP WHS for a relative's small home business a few years ago and it's been working quite well, she's a graphic designer so she deals with some relatively large files on a daily basis but the box has been a great solution for various (mostly Mac) clients to be able to collaborate seamlessly.
Almost nothing is stored on the client systems, they use the server as centralized storage for everything. Right now it's setup with two 1TB drives for duplication of most of the content, it was never upgraded to Vail and I'm not sure it's even worthwhile. She wants an off site backup solution for peace of mind in case of a catastrophic scenario and between MS/users abandoning WHS and a lot of outdated info pre and post Vail I'm having a hard time finding something that would meet her needs.
Initially she asked me if Carbonite would work since she's using it for some laptops but it seems a version specially for WHS was never developed and the client software might get confused if any data is spanned across drives (from what I've read), her backup rate might also get throttled from what I've heard.
I've heard a lot about Crashplan but I dunno how well it works with WHS. Anyone have any suggestions?
