If they have 100 people, they should be looking into something like a NetApp NAS. A USB-connected thingy is not going to cut it.

turning this conversation around a little bit, using backup and a usb hard drive, what is the fastest way to backup data now?
i am being told this customer is looking for a better solution because to backup a NAS is now taking three business days.
I assume they're using an older version of usb perhaps.  What is the quickest method of copying to an external hard drive now?
 
I should probably go look at how much data they're copying.  I know there are about 100 people who work here.  when I did IT
for a local private school every teacher/employee put all their personal stuff "on the network".  That is probably some of what they're
also backing up....

The built in hyperbackup tool does incremental. It has a bunch of
settings that control how long and how may versions.
