To provide reliable backup for data/systems that are hosted/located in Valey Stream (except CT2 dev server).
SOW 1
* 0003302: [IT/Misc] Back up solution needs to be changed asap as the current backup is bad
Proposal: Backup data solution
- Problem for current backup solution:
- It is not reliable.
- It requires MT to do manual work every night to make sure it is successful.
- It is not always working properly.
- Physical HD needs to be carried out of the office daily
- High risk of physical HD to get damaged by taking offsite
- Solutions: Need to select a better solution for this backup solution to be reliable.
- There are 4 backup options, 2 onsite and 2 offsite solutions.
- Recommendation: Having 1 offsite and 1 onsite solution to make sure that we are properly backed up.
- Pricing: CDW prices, so if decision is made for which options are selected, MT will give you a quote which hopefully will be a little cheaper if possible.
- Opinion: Option 1 & Option 3 are the best options but I know you wanted several options.
Option 1 is a NAS Solution.
- a) The NAS would stay in our datacenter and would be able to store over a months worth of backups.
- b) This solution is the best ONSITE backup solution because of its reliability and speed.
- c) NAS Solution 4TB $588:

Option 2 is a USB Hard drive
- a) It is excellent for reliable ONSITE backups.
- b) However it is slower and smaller then a NAS device.
- c) USB Hard Drive 2TB $220: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Buffalo-DriveStation-Axis-hard-drive-2-TB-Hi-Speed-USB/2525325.aspx
Option 3 is an Offsite Backup Solution through MT.
- a) Our Servers would backup each night through the internet to MT Offsite location in Utah.
- b) The cost of our Offsite Backup solution is $1 per GB per month + $10 per Server license.
- We have about 225gb if we backup all data folders. Since we are in a MSP plan with Managed Technology, they will give us 50gb free. So the total monthly cost would be about $195
- c) Note: we can choose to backup only really important folders
with the Offsite Backups to keep the cost down.
Option 4 is a Removable Disk Backup solution.
- a) This is similar to the disk backups we currently have now except this is the correct solution as it is made for Removable Disks.
- b) Note: The current one is not made for removable disks.
- c) Removable Disk Backup $815 (Comes with Drive and 2 500gb disks):
