I am setting up a server for a small company (20 users). The requirements are:
* All mail to be dropped on server before being forwarded to users (mail server)
* All outgoing mail to go via server before being sent. (Bandwidth expensive in SA and user wants to cut down on mail being sent to other users on the internal network (often with large attachments) which need not be sent outside of internal network.
* Want to create a server cache for windows updats to prevent all 20 users downloading windows and virus updates independently (again unnecessary bandwidth)
* Want to have automatic backup of user data onto server (incremental) (what software would enable this?)
Any suggestions on the route to follow? Can I do this with Linux server? All users are windows users. Would I need for example MS Small Business Server – or are there cheaper solutions? Requirement is NOT for centralises data storage on server – only back up.
Help would be gratefully appreciated
