Advice on Offline Backups

[philcebutv]

Hi All,

Don’t know if this is related..

We are a small creative agency using all macintosh. we’d like to have some advice on offline backups wether tapes, hard drives or whatsoever on what to use and want to hear also some other companies on what’s their experience using them. An offline backup that we can take at home and feeling secured that we have all the backup that is also easy to use and friendly. A backup that we can rotate weekly or monthly.

Currently our data is just less than 500 GB and the user’s data for 20 macintosh clients & databases are about 500 GB. Per week it will grow like less than 150 MB. Our target is to backup all the Data and user’s file and emails.

I am new to this offline backups and I do not know where to start. We are having Retrospect 6.1 on our small studio that is temporarily backing up all the data and users data to a firewire 800 disk configured as RAID1. any advice on what to use?

BRU or Retrospect? Firewire or ScSi tape devices? Firewire drives? Blu-ray I don’t know. Please share your experiences.

any advice?
