Afternoon all :)

Looking for feasibility on this one - I don't like the current backup method we use at work and want to improve it. Problem is, I haven't got a clue about these things.

Currently:

2x RDX drives run each night with incremental backups, and a full backup once a week. The "tapes" are rotated.

What happens is people delete stuff and moan when they want it back, and we have to load the right drive and find it.

What I'd like to do is install an offsite NAS that takes a continuous incremental backup (we have a 100mb connection to a remote site). This NAS would then have the RDX drives connected for nightly backups that are taken off site as usual.

Can this be automated? Is it possible for the live backup to include deleted files somehow? In other words incremental backups that don't remove deleted files until they've been deleted for, say, a month?

thanks :)
 
2008R2, multi server, 3x physical, 1x virtual. Just looking for file level at the moment but I do want to eventually get all the servers moved over to virtual and so can use snapshots etc.

Not that I really understand much on that yet. Thanks :)
 
Forgot about this thread :)

Just to conclude - we have been running disk to disk to tape (well RDX) for a few months now after purchasing a small NAS. It works quite well with full backups at the weekend and incremental nightly (Backup Exec 2010).

thanks all :)
