Looking for suggestions for backups:
Current situation: 3 data servers: daily tars copied to a 4th server with a tape backup running at night. The local PCs are NOT backed up, nothing is supposed to be stored there.
The tape drive has died: a replacement is around $3,000. The tapes were convenient because somebody could take them home next night and rotate.
The backups are right now 40Gb, but could easily be reduced to 10Gb.
What can you suggest so that somebody can take the backup home?
Well, a different approach, but one that would probably work... Drop a couple hundred bucks to get 4 or 5 external USB hard drive cases, and another $500 for a half-dozen IDE drives to go inside of them. Then just sync/copy to the external disk and take that offsite. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
