FN-FORUM: Secure Archive Backup

date posted 28th June 2005 09:44

Hi All
=20
I have a client looking to create the following:
=20
Document Scanner rip's scanned items into pdf format, the user then
gives the file a specific name including a ref. number, so far we've
done this bit and the data is out put to a CD and stored... What we now
want to do is have that data stored on a server for instant desktop
retrieval... Now a local file server setup would be great but I'm
worried about disaster recovery as these documents are to be stored
permanently and many are very important - Loss is not an option! I'm
trying to think of some way of having a copy of all the local files
synchronised with a remote copy on a nightly basis - I.e. any new files
created that day would be automatically uploaded that night ensuring the
local and remote servers have the exact same files. Was thinking that
one option maybe to have a dedicated Linux box running here on a
separate broadband line with a static IP, this could act as the remote
server and would allow me to maintain the hardware...

Anyone else advise of a better approach?

Thanks
Paul
