LAN backups
Speaking of LAN backups, our office LAN backup is at 4 TB and growing at
100 GB a month. I still use three internal backup drives, two are WD 4 TB green drives and one is a WD 8 TB white drive ripped out of an external drive. The 4 TB drives only have 200 GB of free space and have been reformatted several times. They will be upgraded to 8 TB internal drives soon. I also write an external USB drive each week on Friday. It takes 12 to 18 hours to do an incremental backup and 3 to 5 days to write a full backup to a clean drive. No compression. There are seven drives and they are stored offsite. Three are WD 6 TB and four are WD 8 TB. The 8 TB external drives are now $170, amazing ! https://www.amazon.com/Book-Desktop-...dp/B01LQQHLGC/ Lynn |

I just buy a WD USB external drive and strip the drive out. Lynn |
