Oh, they weren't too bad, on the whole. I think they get a lot of
criticism which is mostly unfair.

And they didn't need resilience on their SNMS servers because they were
built by someone who knew what they were doing (me).

It really isn't a matter of How, that was the question I asked.
Business needs to back up it's vital data, that is what you have to sell
them. The how depends on their local environment. If it is just
sensible philosophy that she needs then tell her to get in touch, the
techies can provide the actual solutions.

 

Factually very good , a service we provide to our customer base ,
becoming increasingly popular due to the set and forget aspect :_)

 

Can you explain the differentiation between their Global Transit Network and
Colossus please?

 

OK ukrm folks, well those of you with ADSL or better that is, serious
question:

Would you consider (for your business) it a good bundled service to have
access to a multi gig Storage Area device at the end of your line such that
you could run all your overnight critical data to it, complete rotation or
incremental, confident in the knowledge it would be mirrored and held in two
diverse locations in proper data centres.

 

Yes please

You don't know anything, do you.

 

You're a bit behind the curve on ol' Vic m'boy

 

Not based on the standard 256K uplink speed of ADSL, no. It'd be too
slow for any realistic backups.

 

I'll bet he knows where everything is in PC World.

Whole system backups certainly but not just incremental data ones
Shirley?

Depends on the data mind.

 

Well for a small office or individual, doing incremental backup, 6 hours
overnight gives 600megs+, enough for most. I'm thinking more customers with
2,6 and 8+Mb links though.
My experience running IT depts. was that tape rotation and moving them
offsite was a bit of a PITA. Not an issue in larger companies whith
autochangers and security company contracts, I'm thinking SME.

 

In principle, but the software involved would have to be clever enough
to notice what files had changed on a server and just back those up,
this wouldn't work well for things like online database backups (even
small companies use databases these days), or anything that wasn't flat-
file based.. say MS Exchange.

And the backup software.

 

I can see where it would be useful, but have a look at my other post for
details of a few elements that you'd need to work on..

What?? Three lines of script on a *nix box.

It sounds like madness.

I have passed all[1] of your comments on. If there is paying work in it
you will be the first to know.


[1] For publicly acceptable values of all, obviously.

 

How does a *nix backup open files, or applications with uncommited
writes then?
