The server has multiple large partitions ranging from 200 to 400 GB. Also, the server doesn't have a tape drive. We recently got a large NAS device that has 2 TB of storage space. The UNIX server has Samba installed and can be setup to mount a Windows network share. I would like the ability to run full and incremental backups as well as restores. Let me know what you think.
