Hi Everyone,<br><br>I'm just going to put this question out there and see what comes back.<br><br>We currently use a proprietry backup solution that is costing us several thousand a MONTH to keep only 5 days worth of information. The total data store is approximatly 2 - 3.5 TB of data. Now the marketing droids at another company that shall remain nameless is trying to sell us all manor of crap, from vtl systems that start at 60K (I kid you not) to multi hundred thousand pound solutions.<br>
<br>In essence we want to achieve 5 things.<br><br>Consistant and good local backup of data<br>Replication of data off site to our off site site server<br>Backup laptops over DSL connections into the system.<br>Quick and straightforward use esp regards restores.<br>
Reliability<br><br>This is a clean sheet exercise. With a large 5 figure budget to make it work. Does anyone a) have any ideas b) know a firm that can do this type of system without pushy sales droids but with an SLA. Our boxes are Windows servers (20 -25) Redhat server (1) Opensuse server (2) Netware Boxes (2) AS/400 iSeries.<br>
<br>Any advice welcome.<br><br>Stu<br><br> <br>
