Hi,
Just looking for some advice really and any improvements on my ideas.
we have an old server that used to be our main server until its hard drives started dropping data. the rest of the machines hardware is perfectly fine its just the hard drives that need replacing.
Since we have a new server that deals with all our current data our old one is now redundant. My plan would be to create a archive server that holds all of our old job data (around 10 years worth)
I was planning to use the old server software aswell (sbs2000). I just need some kind of OS so taht i can manage the files on screen and also share the files to various computers.
It is worth reusing SBS or can you suggest a lighter piece of software? maybe a form of linux?
im just looking for something simple and straight forward for file management. security isnt really an issue as it'll be behind various forms of hardware firewalls etc etc
thanks for your help
