I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dell AppAssure yet.

Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Backing up between main office and remote site

Barracuda has a backup solution that backs up local, has agent support for 
vmware, exchange and sql.
It will also backup to either barracuda cloud as well or to another barracuda 
device located in another location

Subject: [NTSysADM] Backing up between main office and remote site

I am asking for feedback from those that backup between multiple sites. What 
were the good things and what would you do different? First time I've had to 
look at this in a very long time.

Talked with a potential new client looking to backup up between the two offices 
and possibly cloud backup. Current data size is estimated at 17 TBs. A disaster 
recovery type of thing. Besides have the backup local another copy is off-site.

Main office has several Windows Server 2008 physical servers along with 15-20 
virtual servers. They are running VM Ware (unknown version). Included in the 
mix is an Exchange Server (probably 2010), couple SQL Servers (unknown 
version), file and print and AD. The remote office has a few servers. Each site 
is on a fiber network but speed is unknown at this time. He is checking.

Their previous IT guy just quit so they asked for a proposal to go in and 
document the network and implementing a remote backup solution. Right now we're 
focusing on this backup solution but I'm sure it will change as we get further 
into our discussions.

I could use a couple of enterprise NAS devices or put in a couple of Server 
2012 R2 servers as a storage and possibly turn on de-dup to reduce data 
transfer size.

Thanks for the help.
