At the moment here at work we have a pretty basic backup setup (not including the Time Machine style backups on each individual machine)
A 4TB drive on the network (connected to a server PC which isn't really used for anything any more other than serving files from that drive) that is synchronised to another 4TB drive daily (the second drive is taken offsite and brought back in, bit laborious and obviously prone to human error)
The 4TB drive is rapidly approaching full, so we need to expand - but there must be a better way.
Current thoughts:
- Some sort of NAS, with RAID1 storage for redundancy I guess - but this doesn't solve the problem of us wanting an offsite backup unless we take some of the drives out in the same way we do at the moment.
- Some sort of NAS, backed up to Cloud Storage (Google Cloud Platform etc) which solves the offsite backup problem, but is seemingly quite costly (8TB would be approx £1K a year)
How do you guys all do it?
