I am looking for a recommendation for a network backup device. I have 40 computers in the network (both windows and Linux), approximately 250 GB per month that needs to be backed up, but that will grow.
I have tried using external hard disks, but I was not happy with them. I was using external USB cases with IDE drives and the disks kept crashing. My current strategy is to do a full backup at the beginning of the month and an incremental backup each day in the month and then recycle every 4 months. That way I always have 3 months of data backed up. I would also like the flexibility for different kinds of backup, for example I might in the future want to back the servers up to bare metal recovery on a separate media. Bacula seems to be able to handle all of my requirements, and now I am looking for the hardware. Does anybody have recommendations, what to use, what not to use etc...
