So here is the deal....
We have our three top guys...CEO/CFO/CLO and heck even our CIO.
It has been decreed that we will take care of their home PC's as well as any other system they see fit for us to repair. (yes thats right the kids computers too...)
My main concern is getting a viable backup solution on their systems that can handle their backups without a problem
1. Tape is out of the question as it would require them to change tapes sooner or later, and I dont want to have to drive out to their house when they forget to do it.
2. I thought seriously about a SCSI card and storage array (yes..for rewal..) that way they wouldnt hurt themselves and wouldnt have to do anything but smile at it.
Then i thought what about one of the new USB harddrives!
First thing is that I know firewire would be much faster, but i dont care about that..i dont want to have to add another piece of hardware to their already running 100$ systems, and i want something that I can pick up and bring back to the office with me....plug it into my system...or any system for that matter..and there is the data.
So my real questions is:
What brand has anyone here used? What would you suggest? Maxtor? LaCie ? Que ? Western Dig ? ?
I plan on getting a 30 to 40 gig unit which should store backups for at least months on end...
Whatcha thnk ???
