backing up...
- Thread starter wijcc
- Start date
i have my main server which is a HP proliant ML570 G2 server, it has about 190GB of data. I backup every night to a backup server creating a mon to fri backup, this is a full backup created every night using Cobian backup 9.
I also do a incremental backup to a NAS drive every night before I leave (also using cobian 9). I have 2 NAS drives which i use alternatively i.e. each one every other day.
I have a ghost image of the two servers on the the NAS drives too, I update the ghost images every so often bi-monthly.
Is there anywhere where i can improve my backup procedure?

We use Backup Exec, the infrostructure kit backs up to virtual tape on two separate servers, one for mon and wed, the other for tues and fri, these are incremental, then on the weekend we do a Full backup, these all then gets streamed to tape each day, the Telephony kit is backed up straight to tape, then each day, a company called Iron Mountain arrive on site and collect the tapes and drop of the next days tapes.

Backup Exec and CA Brightstor Arcserve. Newest versions in both cases.

Normally products like Netbackup or Tivoli Storage Manager.
Hardware wise it would normally be to some form of SAN based tape library with LTO# drives, (I haven't set up a backup infrastructure in a while but the last one I did do involved an IBM 3584 two cabinet tape library. That was for a production backup infrastructure for a utility company and involved TSM on AIX; Software license costs alone probably costed more that you would pay for the average x86 Wintel server (several times over)).
