You can snap several times a day [in fact it's prob better that way]
Just don't defrag the drive those snaps are on.
Okay as the annoying SBSer around here I gotta pipe up and say that
nothing is that "bad" if it's monitored, taken care of, and ensured that
it's got a good backup.

If they are less than 50 people... I'd put a SBS server in there...
Remote Web Workplace is a killer app and my daily 'in my face email'
keeps me aware of what's going on on that box.

Hello Everyone,
I have acquired an HP Proliant DL380. This has 6 hard disk slots
available. I would like to use VSS as a tool to allow the people I
help out to restore their data without me being around. (I do this
free for experience). This will also be a DC ( I know, it's bad, but
they aren't big enough to warrant a separate box)
I plan to configure the server as follows:
Array A: 2 x 36.4GB for the OS, AD
Array B: 3 x 72GB to store data
Array C: 1 x 72GB VSS?
When I have looked up on the web the suggestions for VSS, it's
mentioned using separate volume for the shadow but preferably separate
disks for fault tolerance/performance. With my above configuration
would this achieve the latter? Part of me feels this is slightly
overkill. My other option was:
Array A: 2 x 36.4GB for the OS, AD
Array B: 4 x 72GB to store data (create a volume of 72GB)
What I would like is for all the data on Array B to have a snapshot
taken for at least over a week. 50% of the data is changed throughout
the week. As I am not here all the time, I want to make sure I don't
need to come in. Is 72GB an overkill?
thanks for your time...Amy ;-)
