Things to consider: - can compromising one of your servers compromise the backup server? - can compromising your backup server compromise all of your other servers? - do the 8 servers have significant duplicated data? - is the purpose of your backup to recover files and file trees that people have accidentally deleted? - is the purpose of your backup to restore a new machine to complete functionality from an image of the old one? - is the purpose of your backup to archive various data sets going back in time? Answers to those questions will help select better backup solutions for you. -dsr-
