A local College IT VP has offered to donate a bunch of Desktops and laptops along with 4 Color Laser Printers. We are building a Server for: Shared Files, Email, and Internet Access allocation and he is recommending a Tape Backup System. The Dell Server t300 comes in at $3,400 but the Tape B/U is another $1,800 for two "1 TB" tapes. I am inclined to go with a RAID 5 and three 750 gb drives. The Food Pantry data resides in a single Excel File and would need to be retrieved almost immediately or we cannot serve the hungry! Other than this, Financial Data is the only other critical issue in the event of a catastrophic failure. This is our FIRST Network and Server Solution. We accumulate between 2gb and 20 gb in storable Data weekly, so our backup needs are "ThumbDrive-Size." Can you speak to the recommended backup and disaster-recovery solution that would best meet our needs?
