Hello IT teckkies!
I am looking at my friend's business network and trying to help him optimize some of the aspects of his current set up. He has a business DSL network line running one fileserver with a backup server (not running but sitting next to it with the same configuration if the fileserver dies), one terminal server with a sonicwall VPN firewall, one webserver, one Buffalo NAS (with 1TB RAID 0 I think), and around 15 office terminals. He wants to build a solution to his growing amount of data that allows him to expand his storage as need grows which allows him to take a copy off-site at the end of the day in case of fire or other disaster. The idea of just stringing more NAS's has been the common answer to the growing size of his data pool that does have redundancy but not off-site copy. We were discussing some of the builds that I have seen here and I decided to post the question to the real computer geniusses in the world....TBCS members! Can you think of a good way to do this? Hot swapable drives would work to a degree, but I don't know how well this would behave on a RAID configuration.
