+1. I use standard products for backups, and then a mix of scripts and 3-party products to transfer those backups over the wire. Rsync, SyncBack, DeltaCopy are a few names...

So how do you access it now? VPN? Direct RDP? Local only? Sounds like you need two separate configs; one is the VPN/IPSEC connectivity, and the other is the backup application. Create the tunnel to the NAS device using your connectivity method of choice. Then run the backup locally and do either a copy job (like backup exec provides) or manually script a copy up to the NAS. The big hurdle you're going to run into is trying to copy large files across that link quickly and reliably. Image files present a big challenge since even small changes result in new image files that must be uploaded separately. There are 3rd party tools that can accommodate this, but I don't have a specific recommendation. I haven't found one that I like. Another thing to watch for will be data transfer windows. Depending on the size of the upload and the link speed, you could easily run into an overlap... I've had clients want something like this and we have always either moved media physically using a manual offsite service like Iron Mountain or Datasafe or used Amazon or Mozy. We ran into too many hurdles with bandwidth utilization and time windows. Perhaps someone else has a better solution based on their experience... *********************** Charlie Kaiser [email protected] Kingman, AZ *********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: justino garcia [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 10:34 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: backup software solution for offsite > > I host a server, in a rack, at some one else data-center ( I rent a > rack). > > In the rack,i have a Network Attached storage devices, and some other > servers.
