We have 4 servers that are being backed up every so many seconds to a NAS Server. We have 2 TB of space to use for this service. Now most of our files are on our main prinergy server which is Raid 5 As that gets filled we needed to move some files so we purchased a raid 5 5TB external drive. The problem is that it is not 100% guaranteed back up (So I am told) if 2 drives where to go down at the same time we would loose everything (So I am told).
My question or issue is my company no longer wants to keep purchasing the service for old jobs which is why we purchased the external drive so lets say in 1 year we used 1TB then those jobs continually get moved all through the next year, to the external, to make room for new incoming jobs.
We need to back up or mirror the 5TB External drive.
I am looking for the best way to go about this.
I am currently looking into Time Machine from apple but not sure if this will make it a 100% fool proof backed up system
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim
