[brlug-general] Backups for Linux..

[Blake Gardner]

Hey Dustin

My company has also recently changed our backup schemes. I did a lot of 
research and I found some very interesting NAS solutions for on-site and 
off-site backups. What we are using are Buffalo Terastation PRO’s. 
They’re small NAS boxes with 4 hot swappable drives with RAID (you can 
select custom raid levels on the web management interface).

Because of our clients demand for these types of solutions we’ve become 
a certified Buffalo Tech product dealer. We will have a live interactive 
demonstration network setup at the Biz-Tech Expo on October 11th-12th at 
the River Center. Show hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. I would love for you 
to come by and try it out and touch the box. Its one of the best 
bang-for-your-buck storage systems have had the pleasure to deal with.

Also it’s a Linux-based product, PowerPC (PPC) processor running an 
embedded version of PPC Debian.

P.S. we should do lunch sometime again soon, that PF Changs was good.
