Laptop Backup

by wesley.chin . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

What can be done for backup of remote computers?

There are some telecommuters as well as at least one person who uses laptop as primary computers. The majority of computers are desktops. The telecommuters are located so remotely that it is a rarity if they enter the office. The other laptop person enters the office everyday. Currently, there is not a server and as such backup is done via software. Computers in the office have simple file sharing enabled between them, and software installed on each computer triggers backup to an external hard drive attached to an office computer. Right now, the laptop person backs up data from the laptop to a vacant desktop occasionally. That computer has the software to backup to the external hard drive.

For the telecommuters, data is not backed up at all. Even with the laptop person, it is kind of like a hit-and-miss with data backup.
