* 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: 
 +
* d)  Link:  http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Buffalo-LinkStation-Duo-NAS-server/2093736.aspx?enkwrd=ALLPROD%3a%7cts-wx4.0tl%252fr1%7cAll%20Product%20Catalog
 +
 
 +
 
 +
=== 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):   
 +
:* Link: http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/HP-StorageWorks-RDX-Removable-Disk-Backup-System-RDX-drive-Hi-Speed-USB/1848551.aspx?RecommendedFOREDC=1630646&RecoType=AP&cm_sp=Product-_-ComplAcc-_-HP+StorageWorks+RDX+Removable+Disk+Backup+System+-+RDX+drive+-+Hi-Speed+USB&programidentifier=4

 +
 
 +
== Solution: Rackspace (JungleDisk) Offsite Backups ==
 +
* This is very similar to a tape-based backup solution where backups are taken nightly and copied over to Rackspace hosted servers. MT will continue to manage the backups for us.
 +
* JungleDisk (recently acquired by Rackspace) offers a Server Backup solution that costs $5/month per server and $0.15/gB per month for storage. We will implement a 60-day retention period and will adjust accordingly (depending on cost)

* 0003302: [IT/Misc] Back up solution needs to be changed asap as the current backup is bad

[edit] 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.


[edit] Option 1 is a NAS Solution.


[edit] Option 2 is a USB Hard drive


[edit] 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

[edit] Solution: Rackspace (JungleDisk) Offsite Backups

  • This is very similar to a tape-based backup solution where backups are taken nightly and copied over to Rackspace hosted servers. MT will continue to manage the backups for us.
  • JungleDisk (recently acquired by Rackspace) offers a Server Backup solution that costs $5/month per server and $0.15/gB per month for storage. We will implement a 60-day retention period and will adjust accordingly (depending on cost)
