I am just wanting some opinions for hardware to do what I want to do.
What I have is a 2003 PDC and a 2000 Stand Alone Server along with 3 bridge computers (CC,phone,Internet Reservations) to be backed up Data totalling less than 120GB with projected growth. Currently we have Veritaz Backup Exec for Windows Servers V9.1 Backing up to Tape.
I am wanting to change to a NAS device to backup.
Could I backup to one that has hot swappable drive bays and rotate drives on it?
I am not familiar with NAS devices, but with my knowledge and what I have read I believe a USR 8700 could work
USA 8700
Configuring with a total of 4 drives 1 running ths os (I believe their variation of Linux) then use the 3 other drives as a backup partition using 1 at a time leaving 1 off site.
The only things that I have read is that the USR doesn't work with Active Directory, but unless I am sharring it through AD why should that matter currently veritaz could back up to a samba share if I wanted it to.
Pretty simple anybody think it will work or not, If I am wrong and it just won't work let me know LOL Or if you know of other NAs devices that will let me
knoe your thoughts
Thanks
