For what they do, this server is even overkill. There are just 4 employees who save their spreadsheets and word/wordperfect files to the server. No heavy load, no large files, no need for anything special. Come on, they were satisfied with a P-II 333 MHz with an ATA-66 HDD for 5-6 years!
Copying the data from the old server to the new only required 3 GB of space, and that was about 6 years worth!
The current setup works well, data is saved to the main hard drive (provided by HP)... and on a daily basis it is all backed up to the second hard drive (provided by me) which they can not see on the network. Then, once a week, those 5 daily backups are zipped up and FTPed elsewhere. All automatic, no need for me (or anyone) to get involved.
The problem isn't the server setup, its that a Seagate drive failed 2 months in! Although the signs have been there since about the second week. |
