        Hi,

I want to nightly backup the server to a external caddy disk - I can't
afford tapes. I am also going to be implementing RAID 1 in the system
in the next few weeks. Currently we have a script that backs up the
documents all to a folder on another drive, because currently the
Exchange server wasn't being used much. As this is now changing, I
want to back all the server up onto disks, both using RAID-1 and using
the backup program to backup to a removable disk.

How easy is this to do?

Tia,
Andrew.
