I work in a small business and need to solve our backup/archive problems.
Ideally I would like something with hard drives that are hot swappable and cloned, so drive could be taken off site or moved to a safe for safe keeping.
As our files are so big, DVD backup isn't really a good archive process anymore.
Is there a system available which works with mac where I can archive to a cloned drive and remove them for use later? (so I'll have 2 drives of the same thing for security) I recently tried the Seagate NAS 420, but if you remove a drive from it, it no longer recognises it and you have to rebuild it.... obviously no good for what I need. If anyone has any other ideas, It would be greatly appreciated!
Some jobs we have are around 4gb, so I need to be working with 2TB drives realistically to archive large volumes of work.
