If you don't need to backup all the clients, then WHS might be an option. Cluster level de-dupe. Image based restore (or file/folder if you want). Web based interface for accessing files outside the office (as well as a RDP proxy to the clients/servers). $600 or so if you want to buy it "in a box" (e.g. the HP MediaSmart).
Only problem: limited to 10 clients (your servers can be clients) Cheers Ken From: Mark Robinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 November 2010 7:11 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Solutions 3 servers, 10 clients...a monthly retention cycle is all that is required... Thanks From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 17 November 2010 11:08 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup Solutions How small is small? What are the data retention requirements? Windows Home Server is pretty cheap if the business is very small. Cheers Ken From: Mark Robinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 17 November 2010 5:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup Solutions Hi, Can anyone recommend a good value (i.e reasonably cheap), file-level backup solution for a small business? I just received a quote for Symantec Backup Exec 2010 and it is way out of our price range.
