Data Backup

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

Wanted to get an opinion on what your favorite way of doing off site backup is?

In other words, we would like to detach either a hard drive or something of that nature to take a off site with us every day in case the company burns down. For now we use CD's and USB backup keys, but that only goes so far.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.....

Floppies. Lots of them. Preferably 3 1/2".

We run tape backups, and one of us always has the full backup tape from 2-3 weeks ago at our house in case of fire, flood, or other server room catastrophe.

What do you use as your tape backup?

We've got a bunch of different tape drives--a Sony AIT-2 and AIT-3 (these have been nothing but trouble) that we use for incrementals and Exchange server backups, a pair of Dell PowerVault 110T's (repackaged Ultrium LTOs) that we use for weekly backups of full data stores (these have been wonderful), and an internal DDS tape drive that backs up a small data store for an offisite office suite in Wilmington.
