Guest Gary M Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I have a friend with a small business who is looking at getting his first server. he is looking at windows server 2003, and instead of tape backup dell has recommended his going with their RD1000, its an internal SATA drive with removable 80/160 hard drive. what are the opinions on using several of these as backup instead of tape? he really doesnt care about restoring lost files or previous versions of data, more just for disaster recovery purposes. wants to be able to always keep one of thise offsite in case of disaster. myself, we have always used tape backups, but from time to time we are asked to restore a folder someone has deleted, or they have made changes they didnt like to an important file and want the version from 3 months ago, but he doenst need anything like that. gary
