*** That server is getting pretty long in the tooth.  I will likely
rebuild the the 2003 environment but most likely virtualized in the Cent OS

*** The DNS-323 is the data storage seperate from the server.
Essentially... think of it as a storage array.  I am nt so much
concerned about the speed as it is pretty much for home use & more of a
proof of concept type thing.  Something I could suggest to someone as a
solution.  I have been doing the backups t the external drive manually s
far...but you are right...I wuld like it to be automated.  The off-site
portion would be the external drive that would travel with me.  That
way...a worst case scenario where I didnt have access to the house (i.e.
flood, fire, PHTF, etc.) I would still have a bulk of the data present.
 Ideally though you are right...an off-site solution would be best.  If
I had the resources I would definately be buying better equipment &
doing something off-site.
