Were looking at getting some additional storage space, doesnt need to be a whole lot. At this point >100gigs would suffice, but we'd like it to be 'redundant'.

Basically we'd like some space to do additional backups and store user profiles on.

Suggestions for low cost solutions? I've seen these consumer level devices where you just plug power and a network cable in, and you've got a single HD shared on the network.. we need something like that, but with multiple drives for redundancy.

Danke!

I think you are refering to a Network attached storage (NAS) solution rather than a SAN. SANs are, in general, huge networks.

I'm using the 45 day free trial of the software right now.

It's one of those programs that you can't really get the full feel for unless you use it on multiple machines with multiple scenarios. I've got it backing up my D&S folder to a USB drive everytime I plug it in. Seems to work well.

Is anyone using this software with any issues? Complaints?
