using one large hard drive? I'll suggest you think this idea over again. Consider that when that 1TB(ish) drive dies...and it's not if but when...you've lost your backup for all 6. I'll suggest you will need multiple media sources and a plan that uses a combination of automated and manual methods. I like full disk imaging as part of a backup plan as it offers the quickest means to restore an entire hard drive to working condition. As well, you're well off to test your plan to make sure it does as you wish. I don't see a quick and easy answer to your question that will provide a reliable solution.
Hi, i kinda need some advice and help on backing up some computers.
1stly, there are 6 of them, of which two are mac's.
2ndly, i need have to back up the hard rives of each of them onto an external. (bout 1TBish)
so, i need to know how it can be done? or whether it can be done. ( minus the use of another back up server)
Thanks=]
