Situation:
I work for a fairly large company, and we have a fairly large IT department. Our department uses files in an on the fly bases for projects, and we may or may not have to use a file from years past. Currently I am in charge of backing up our departments files to CD/DVD once a projects done. Now this prcess can be a pain depending on the number of prjects that we go through. I was thinking of getting a simple attached storage solution (I believe it's a NAS?) Where it has two 500gb HDDs in a RAID configuration attached to my computer via eSATA. Others in the department will need access and i should be able to allow them over our LAN. Yes our IT department backs up every night, but it takes forever for them to retrieve something thats been deleted and they have been unable to retrieve things in the past, plus they only keep information for 6 years.
I was just wondering how people feel about dumping CD/DVD burning for
an external RAID NAS type solution.
any other suggestions are welcome of course.
