Off-site backup solution?
Hi, just wondering if Surpass will offer a off-site backup solution in the future? Rochen just announced that they will be offering that for free to their shared hosting. I'm not complaining that Surpass doesn't have enough perks but just for the sake of curiosity :jester: :Jugglings

If someone knows a CHEAP way to do 'off site' backup - other than dumping a disk image to tape and walking it out of the building - let me know. Because I never found one that didn't have a bunch of holes in it. John

they're getting cheaper - with network attached storage tools, etc. but I don't even want to guess at the cost of bandwidth needed to mirror all the data partitions in the Surpass data center to an off site location over the network...

if it´s cost sensible, the tape is the best one.
some times i use a well-known neighbor with the facilities or buy them (secure-cabinet)and place it on the neightbors rooms and setup a wlan. could be just a idea. |
