Subject: Re: D'oh! Backup issue solved
Folks with big ISP's/search engines tend to have
between 750 GB and 1.5
TB
of storage, depending on their size. Numerous
corporate enterprises
around
here are near the TB range right now. I heard on the
radio about one
new
internet startup that brought up 775 GB of RAID their
first day.
May be so. I manage 40 clients and 4 servers every day and its not an
issue.
I could care less about the problem of dealing with more than 10-20gb.
Most
people I know of want a good solid very reliable 5-20gb system that
really
does make a restorable backup. In that range there are a lot of
products,
loads of hardware and most work fine. What I find lacking is the ability
to
IMAGE copy the disks(for NT4) replace the disk and write it back. I'm
used
to doing this with VMS to clone a disk and it's a life saver.
