One of my clients said they wanted to add a small backup server that can sit in one of the employees offices (who will be running the backup). So I set out to make a shuttle backup device.

Check out this build:

Ya, I know P4, but it was cheap. They really do not need the power of C2D on this build and C2D was $100 more, so they opted for savings.

I am really happy with it so far, I just got everything this afternoon and it is currently installing windows and such. I am amazed by the quality of the Shuttle, never built one before so its a new experience, but I was able to build the whole thing in about 10 minutes :p

The Rev drive kit looks awesome since it comes with software and 6 disks, not to mention the whole machine is a tiny cube with one task in life :)
 
Not bad I guess. Hope you have good luck with the Rev drive. We used like 2 of them with cleints but had issues with the compression and moved people away from them. What are you backing up?
 
Well, I am not going to be using any compression. Backing up 20gb of users files/program directory (a program they use stores info in just regular files so they can be backed up easily).

It is pretty much a straight file copy that will be used, nothing special is really needed :)

O, and the CA software included was a rip, it cannot do network backups since it is the OEM copy and they wanted $580 to upgrade to the full version to do network backups! They are just going to use the iomega simple backup utility since they really only need a straight file backup and do not need compression or other extras/advanced setups.
 
I love those little Shuttle systems. Put similar ones together for most of my family, including my father's office. good choice.
