Backing Up advice needed please

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi we currently have a DAT72 drive built into our Poweredge 2850 rack
server. Unfortunately we can only get about 40GB backed up and this is now
not enough.

There are all sorts of options I know but the three being suggested are:

1. Get a new rack mount with a further DAT72 drive in it and transfer the
driver for the serve to this mount, effectively doubling the capacity.
2. getting a new rackmount but with a single LTO 2LC tape drive which would
give me 400GB Native
3. Putting a LTO2OC tape drive into one of our workstations and using that
to undertake the back up (is that viable from a networking point of view?)

Other suggestions much appreciated - we need to back up about 50GB at the
moment rising to 100GB in say 18 months

Thanks

Alex
