Forgot to mention that off site storage is a priority.
The USB drive option is interesting. I know thumb drives are not considered a
good long-term storage solution, but for daily backups, I could rotate a couple
of 2GB+ USB drives (until data grows too large).
Thanks to all for your experienc
Thanks, Olivier. The lack of a Recycle Bin for Samba shares had not occured to
me. I guess I should have each Windows client backup of all files modified that
day to a space on the local drive...

It's true, but amanda allows for a holding disk that the backups get
sent to, so the dumps themselves don't take so long. So, the other
machines that are being backed up, and do the real work in house, don't
take any longer then when I had a tape drive on the backup host. From
the holding disk on t

My setup (dump -> USB 2) processes 22.8 Gbytes in a hair over 5
hours.

My decade old Loader Express with ten 40 GB tapes finally died a couple
of months ago. So, I just switched over to a different style. I don't
know how applicable it is to your situation. I have used amanda for
years to manage tape drives. In the latest version they support backup
to hard disk. They
