[LUG] Backup strategy

 

Hi

I am currently working with a Buffalo Terastation and a Buffalo
HD-HCU2 Drive station as backup. The backup constantly fails and all I
can find is the length of time it takes to back the files up.

The reason it takes so long is the files are huge. We're talking cad
plans of over 25mb and about 6 workers creating these plans maybe once
a day. So we're maybe talking over 100mb created daily to be backed
up. The other problem with the backup is that it is on a Linux
formatted hard drive. So not easy to restore things.

So basically, I need a backup solution that will work in tandem with
the Terastation and be backing up constantly throughout the day. The
owner of the business wants to be taking the backup home daily. He
also needs to restore files quickly - so access from a windows box
(that's all they have got).

Any ideas please?
