Backup apple server

[ylancantho]

What is the best way to backup an apple OS X server?

Buy yourself a tape drive and use the software that comes bundled with it.

If you just need data backup another idea is an external RAID. Owc (mac specialist) sells these. You can see the at

Using OSX 10.3.9 on a G4

Or buy a NAS drive and use the backup app.

Unix *is* user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are.

Best backup software for a mac I have found. I back up to an external hard drive.

I backup to a tape drive running Retrospect, because, I tried an external Hard Drive, but it crashed about a month later.

Nearly free method:

Add a second hard drive and use rsync - it's already installed.

Hi mate ive been backing up our mac server for about 5 -6 years using Retrospect with tape drive.Have had a few problems over the years but the version at the mo Retropect 6.1 has been great. Would recomend it.

To Mr. AppleMac
What tape drive do you use? Any web site?
Thanks

 

[MrAppleMac]

Its a Sony StorStation. Which is a good tape deck worth investing in a good one had a cheaper one a few years back and had quite a few problems with it being non-detectable by the server or failing to eject tapes.

When you say any web site's do you mean where you can buy it from?

 

[ylancantho]

Yes
What do you think about tape drives at quantum.com?
