Backup to External HD?

by tink! . Updated 15 years, 8 months ago

Somewhat of a revisit of a topic, but really more of a continuation.

Summary: Looking to backup 40-50 GB of data from the Server on a daily (weekdays only) basis.

Previous setup was changing backup tape daily, and overwriting weekly. [i](In other words, 1 tape for Monday, which would be overwritten with the next Monday’s backup)[/i]

That backup drive has gone kaput.

We were using Backup Exec software. I’m thinking I can use an External HD in place of the Tape Drive.

Found this on Newegg:

Being that it is so cheap, was thinking of either having 1 for each day (much like the tape setup) or have 3-4 to use 1 per week in a month.

What do you think?
