We are attempting to get an offsite backup off the ground for our graphic design server. This server houses nearly 500 GB of data of which maybe 4-8 gb can change daily. We’d like to use a mirror or incremental backup to a 1TB HP MediaVault. We have a second office which has a connection over T1…After testing with multiple backup softwares including Novastor (our top choice)we have had very little luck getting a backup to complete, even with compression. Obviously there is NO WAY to get a full backup in a night or even 2-3 days with 500 GB…but should we be able to expect a 5 GB transfer to be possible overnight on a T1 connection, or is that asking to much of a T1? It seems to me that it’s just not going to be fast enough, but my IT manager seems to think it should be.
