Hi all. I landed a little side job setting up a linux and NT network for
a company near me. I'm now wondering what kind of backup solution I
should offer. They will be backing up inventory data from a NT-based
database. I'm not sure of the size of the data, but I don't think it will
be more than 50 megs per day.
I'm inclinded to sell them a 1542 and a DDS-2 4 gig backup drive, but that
could cost near $1000.
Should I get the scsi drive, or a simple 3.2 gig travan drive? What do I
need to consider before making a decision?
Thanks,
Dave
