I have a small CPA Firm in Dallas, TX currently we have 1 server with 2003 SBServer for everything. For backups we used tape drives, then switched to removable hard drives that i would take home with me and have at my house in case the place burned down or flooded or something i would have a copy at another location. Well this is great until my assistant forgets to do the backup or I take the wrong one home or forget to take one home altogether. Well the reason I'm looking for something different is because we are going paperless and our data needs are going to increase, also i want to take the human error out this process as much as possible.
What I want is software/service that will make an image of my entire server, and data that will be stored on my 16tb NAS at my house. It needs to automated. Ive looked at logmein.com but thats not really what im looking for. I want it to be a complete image so that if something happens i go unplug my nas at my house, take it up to the office plug it in, put in the recovery disk and then were back on our way. Im skeptical(clearly im an accountant) about storing my image,data on someone elses server not only from a security standpoint, but more from a recovery standpoint, i mean it would take days to download all the data from someone elses datacenter. I cant be down for days.
If you have any ideas, suggestions, criticisms I want to hear your very honest opinions.
