Hi,
I am looking for a simple backup and file sharing solution for a
small home-office netowrk (4 work stations). All running OSX,
with a linkys wireless G. I want to be able to share central files,
and ideally set up an automated backup protocol, but i’m willing
to do it manually, if it remembers what to back up. I have looked
into using LaCie 250GB external HD, and the Maxtor 250 One
Touch. But I was told I can’t back up multiple computers on a
network with these drives (I would have to use a network drive,
like the NetDisk, by Ximeta). But another friend said the Maxtor
with Retrospect would work. Will any of these work? The
preoblem that i heard about the NetDisk was that only 1 user
can read/write at a time. Are there other inexpensive options? I’d
love to spend $200 for a Maxtor if it will solve my problems.
Thanks,
David
