At home, my family runs a 5 pc Vista network. All workstations are used on
a daily basis. Backups are really cumbersome. There is about 20-30 gig
worth of data that needs I backup nightly.
My current backup solution has been as follows:
One one pc, is a shared drive. All the data from the 4 other workstations
is copied (not moved) to the 5th pc over the network. A USB hard drive is
then connected to the 5th pc and a backup to this device is then performed.
It takes forever to move all the data first from all the workstations to the
5th pc and then from the 5th pc to the USB drive.
Would anyone have a suggestion on how to improve my backup process. I do
like to keep a copy of my data offsite (ie USB Hard drive) so that in the
event of any kind of disaster, an offsite backup is available.
Thank you
