Hi, I'm after some advice on backup hardware...
I have a new HP ML310 Gen8 server, I only have 500GB to back up, do no big deal..., and I have and old HP RDX 320GB external drive that I used with our previous server...
This idea worked fine with our old Server 2003 setup, but with Windows Sever 2012 Ess R2 things seem to be a bit more involved..
When I hook the drive up, it appears as a external drive, as you would expect.., but when I try to set it up using the builtin Windows Server Backup it doesn't recognise the drive as a backup device, so I have to mess about creating a share and backing it up that way...
My question is, is the RDX the way to go with this server...?, I just wonder if there is a better external hardware backup device out there, that allows me to put together a simple backup strategy that allows the users to easily take a backup off site at night...
Cloud backup is not an option as the broadband is very slow..
