Hi all, I need to find a backup solution for following scenario: 4 Windows (2003 and SBS 2003) and 1 Mac OS X servers, 6 Windows XP Pro clients. Daily backup of 3 MS SQL Databases and other files, appr. total size is 60 GB. Backup must happen automatically with near zero interaction by human. If a tape needs to be changed I want a message sent to me. Restore must be feasible by non-technical people; half a page of _easy_ instructions must be enough to enable the reader to do a functional restore, without calling me in my holidays. (In this situation the server is still running and functional, only the backed up files or databases are corrupted.) I thought of putting in a FreeBSD box with an attached tape drive and bacula as software. If you agree with this idea, is there a tape drive and SCSI controller you recommend? Have you got any experience you might want to share? If you don't agree with this solution, do you have a better one? The budget is appr. EUR 1500.- and 10 days to set it up. Preferrably no recurring costs apart from backup media and maintenance of the server. Many thanks in advance, lars.home | help
