Or a LINUX expert if you want to save lot's.

Assume the worse case. The building is destroyed. What backups will be needed to restore operations at a new site on new computers? A current offsite backup of the data is the first requirement.

a) Daily backup copies of all pertinent information are needed.

At least 3 generations possibly upto 7 are required.

Each back up set must to be moved offsite at the earliest opportunity.

A working server with the correct o/s needs to be available offsite in readiness for the disaster.

Test full recoveries must be run occasionally to prove the procedure works. If this is not done,
and there is a disaster,
and it is then found the procedure fails, the only option then is suicide!

b) It is worth investigating if your existing server provides a facility to duplicate its hdd(s) on another remote server.
Rather like remote raid I would think.

c)thought needs to be given to security of info on slave pc's in the network.

Good Luck - Keep us posted.
