File Backup System nikemik Dec 20th, 07, 04:49 PM #1 (permalink)
Greetings all. I have a situation and would like some opinions.

The company I work for needs a place to store large files and have them backed up. We have both Mac and Windows that would need to access the drive(s).

I was thinking of a NAS box but then I wouldn't really have a way to back it up since a NAS doesn't run software. So, I was thinking of a RAID server and just have that backed up on tape.

Was wondering what would be some good options. Price is somewhat of an issue but not terribly.

Thanks in advance!

I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can't accept for not trying.

TS is a spammer

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me. I'm afraid of widths.
