I agree with Robert. That Lacie thing has no raid, no redundancy. If the
drive fails, you're dead. ...and 250 GB is not really very much space.
Definitely get a raid solution instead. As for backup, you may be able to
use your existing backup, just buy more tapes, or if you have available
slots in your server, you could add a scsi card and a tape drive or tape
library.
Since you don't mention anything about the hardware you already have, I
can't say if it would make sense to simply add on storage to your server or
to buy a new server. It would depend on a lot of things, is it out of
warranty, does it already have all hard drive slots filled, does it have pci
slots available for scsi cards or hba's? Since it is WinNT, you should also
start thinking about upgrading to Win2003 domain soon - which may require
newer servers anyway.
