OS: Netware 5.0 Backup Software: Backup Exec Major Application: FilePro Database The critical application is the FilePro database which, I understand, might take some adjustments to the file locking configuration on Samba. I'll also need to have a backup solution. I wanted to stick with an industrial-class SCSI Array and was thinking of picking up some used HP SCSI hardware on ebay. The Smart Array 3200 has saved me on a number of occasions and was pretty easy to use so I like the idea of sticking with it unless others know why not to do so or have suggestions they think are better. I only have about 10 users so even moving stuff manually shouldn't be that difficult.
