We're getting ready to test Dell RD-1000 devices, both exernal and internal. The "normal" external is USB-connected SATA drive, but we've been told we could get a SAS connection, also. We're using Commvault for our backup software, but I wouldn't suggest that if you're a small shop; stick to the native tools, or find a good open source program, like others have said.

We currently sue 3 tape drives to back up our servers, and are using NTBackup on Windows Server 2003. We will be moving to Windows Server 2008 maybe next year, and I'm aware that NTBackup has been replaced. With that in mind, we're considering conversion to disk based backup media, and we want removable disks so we can send media off site regularly. I'd be interested in what devices and software are currently in use or at least what recommendations you might have.
