I'm doing a bit of work for a friend of mine helping him setup his new office.
They've got a 3TB of data on a Terastation III that they want backed up.
I've already put in place a cheap ML110 G5 that takes a copy of the Terastation on regular intervals so their data is reasonably safe from a failure of the Terastation. The question is how to get this data off-site to protect from fire/flood/theft and the likes.
Working in the hosting industry I've always dealt with high speed links so moving huge volumes of data is a piece of ****. But in an office with a ADSL2+ link? Forget it!
So what are the options? Seems to me hard-disk is the only way. I figure I could rig the ML110 with a trayless hotswap bay for them to slide a bunch of 2TB disks into but they don't have anyone technical on hand so it needs to be really simple.
(I know I could make something up with Robocopy but I'm thinking about proper backup archiving software)
Is there software out there that can do something like that simply? Monday morning they load a drive in, it alerts when to insert the next disk and then they take their 2 disks away out of the office. Repeat the procedure next week with a new set of disks etc..
