Small Office Backup Solution
In the continuing saga of wearing the IT Manager hat for my dad's office...
I'd like to firm up a good backup solution. The overriding factor should be ease (and speed) of restores. We're going to have a Windows 2008 Server Foundation server running as domain controller and file server for several workstations. Users will only save data on the server. The server's data drives will be two, 1-TB drives in a RAID 1 configuration. If anything happens to one drive, all they will need to do is turn off the server, replace the failed drive, and let the spare re-populate the mirror.
I also want to do some form of online backup in case of fire or theft or something like that. I've historically been using JungleDisk Server to back up to Amazon's cloud. But now I'm looking at Acronis's website and their solutions seem pretty cool (if significantly more expensive). It would be nice to store images of the hard drives of each workstation, plus the OS drive of the server, so that they can just pop a new drive in, re-image it with the correct backup image, and be on their way.
What do people think?
