Hi everyone,
My latest project in cleaning up the mess left by our previous administrator is coming up with a reliable disaster/recovery plan. I have about 12 servers, and while I need backups of all of them my 3 of most critical concern are my domain controller, my exchange server, and my 3 SQL servers. We’re a 24/7 call center so I need to be able to bring the systems back as fast as possible.
I’m thinking disk imaging is my best route, I just really don’t know what software to choose. Aside from the obvious Symantec and Acronis (which I actually used and liked) I’m open to feedback and suggestions as to what everyone else out there is using.
As far as storage i have a Linksys NSS400 which I’m planning to upgrade to 4TB and a small buffalo storage NAS which I plan on using as a “football,” keeping it stored offsite with a member of upper management.
As far as cost im trying to keep it as low as possible. Just from doing some ball bark estimating I’m thinking I can keep this under $1500 for licensing and hardware.
