Just today inherited an SBS 2003 environment, with most users seeming to run XP and Office 2007.
Backups are [not] done with Yosemite Technologies 8.1 to a Dell RD1000. Looks like the software went from TapeWare to Yosemite, and is now owned by Barracuda, with their current version at 9.1 The clients are XP, Win2k Pro and one Win7 box. Don't know the state of AV yet - the machine I was assigned didn't have any so I'm right now (along with all of the updates, starting *prior* to SP3) installing Security Essentials. Very small office - only about 6 client machines, but some interesting challenges, including possibly finding a driver for XP or later for an Ideal Contex large format scanner - an ancient beast. So, a couple of quick questions: 1) Yosemite - is the current version (9.1 - not the 8.1 in production) worthwhile, or should I be looking at something else? 2) RD1000 - I see it has up to 1tb cartridges available. Is Dell the best place to get them, or are other vendors reasonable? 3) Anyone have a good book to recommend on managing SBS 2003, or some other resource that they'd recommend? (yes, I know they should upgrade, but that's not likely to happen right away.) 4) Any other words of wisdom?
