2- Data is btw 4-10GB per mnth.
3- Allowed downtime is 4-8 hrs.
4- I also looking at incremental backup thou can welcme any recommended ideas.

Depending on your budget, my first recommendation would be going for a NetApp product. They will give you a system with hot swappable drives, snapshot backups, support NFS and CIFS so that both your unix and windows environments can use the same NAS, it can integrate into AD or NIS or any central auth you use, etc.

There are many other solutions out there. The site http://www.nasdevices.com/ has a table that compares the various solutions available and what features they support.

Noah.
