do you want to do periodic backups so that you can restore the machine to what it was last week, or pull off data that was over-written? or do you want a backup just in case a hard drive fails?Hello AllI appreciate that this is not quite the place to ask this question but if some of you out there would be willing to spend some time answering this question I would be very grateful. In a place where I do voluntary work we have got some money to buy a pc to act as a server. We want to back up our data. Someone has suggested using software RAID but I thought that a tape drive of some sort would be more appropriate for backing up. What do you guys N gals think. t.ir
if you just want protection against hard drive failure you can go with a raid. Otherwise, you should go with a tape backup, since a raid is a true backup solution. It can be used as one, but its not ideal. So which one you use really depends on what you want to do.
