I have a file server that has gone above 1 TB. When I first came here to the museum a few years ago (8), they had 33 gigs of data on one server. I brought in file tape backups until last year when the backup went out of that range.
I always used SCSI RAIDs but even now that is a bit high. So I have ordered a new file server with six HD openings. I am figuring a pair of 10,000-rpm 150 or 300 gig HDs for the OS, I can go Server 03 or 08, figuring on 08. I would back up one with the other. Then for data, two 2TBS backed up for the main data and two 1.5 or less for other data, also backed up. Then I could/would backup to external 2TB drives for longevity. What thinkist thee? Is there another way I should go? Data here will continue to increase at the same rate... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
