my company is going to back-up a server that is raid 5 with 3 x 36 GB hard drives. we are now deciding whether to go with a tape back up or a network attached storage. what is going against NAS is that we can’t bring it outside the office. however, would it be possible for us to put a network storage outside of our location and back-up our data using a ssl connection through a t1 line? if so, how long do you think it would take for us to back-up the whole server?
i would really appreciate an answer. thanks.
