my thoughts
<hardware option 1 - shonky>
+ Get an IDE USB cradle
+ but another box 'that's the dedicated backup slave'
+ Buy x number of 40-60G Hard drives to go into the USB cradle
-- (this smells of disaster if a HDD dies)
+ backup to the slave and shutdown, take out HDD's
<hardware option 1a - shonky>
+ hot swappable SCSI HDD of some sort, meaning you don't need
shutdowns etc.
<hardware option 2 - $$>
+ talk to the offsite backup storage co's and stream the stuff out
via fibre.
<software>
+ Use Arkeia www.arkeia.com (It has some type of 'small network'
license which is free
under some circumstances - I use it for home, I have used it
commercially too)
It backs up to 'FILE' devices .. and I have had MUCH success with it
as a
Linux backup software solution.
maybe a rewriteable DVD (but this means 4 or more DVD's per day. ..
yeesh
and I gues they would be expensive too.
Is cost the reason for backup tapes ?? cos this could limit the
answers ;)
