Do you know how much time does it take to backup 1.3 TB ? The usage on this disk array would be almost zero, this is supposed to be a backup server... where all the other servers send their backup. [It] Will be (conveniently) located on a different building. On the production servers I'd normally use 4-disk arrays and daily-incremental weekly-full backup policy. By the way, I got some spare hard drives (just like the ones i'm setting up).
