- When shopping for a LAN backup solution, you should also plan to buy a drive
- somewhat larger than you need. LANs always grow, and the more disk space that
- you provide your users, the more they will use. My first choice for a LAN of
- your size is a 4mm DAT with a 1.3Gb capacity. Gigatrend, Mountain, Emerald are
- but a few of the best available. I have used all three and had great
- confidence in their ability to backup/restore with minimal intervention.
-
- A backup solution for any LAN is just as critical as the server itself. Your
- job may someday depend on it! Good Luck and Happy New Year to all...
