I'm working on spec'ing out a new build for one of my customers to upgrade their outgrown infrastructure and I'm kicking around a lot of ideas for backups. Specs aren't final yet, but there will be somewhere around 2TB of user accessible storage and 5 servers to back up (3 physical, 2 virtual)
I'd like to stay away from tapes for reliability/speed, but they will also need some way to keep a physical backup offsite. The customer doesn't want anything subscription-based, so online probably wouldn't be welcomed.
Right now I'm leaning toward a NAS iSCSI target and syncing that with an external hard drive or something for taking offsite, but I'm not familiar with any software that would make this simple for the end user. (Suggestions?).
What are you guys using for reliable SMB backups that don't break the bank but still perform well? Also, what software are you using with them?
