Folks -
We are looking for some backup solutions for a Linux based file server.
Up until now we have been burning DVD's, but as the volume of files
grows that is becoming a less manageable solution. In general we are
talking about amounts of up to 20Gb per backed up volume with about half
a dozen volumes.
Ideally we should be able to backup multiple full copies (over time) of
a volume (Weekly backup for example), coupled with incremental backups
of the volume (Daily backup for example).
One option that comes to mind is a dedicated file server, but that means
that the backups are not physically removed. On the other hand using
removable disks (USB2.0/Firewire) means that we dedicate a significant
storage capacity (And cost) to each backup.
Ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance
Yaacov
