You think using laptops for servers is ghettoness. You should check out the computers controlling all the navigational aids at the airport here. They're from the 70s and take up house-sized buildings.

Naw the old ghettoness will be gone in 1-2weeks. We had a catostrophic data loss and we were down for over a week. $10,000day x 7 days = $70,000 so it costed us some money. We could get new equiptment but our needs are small. Iam not one of those admins that buys ---- we dont need. New servers clustered and Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, since Microsucks is going to stop supporting Server 2000 fully. And its all going in a rack with that spider web of network cables. Even if I did buy new I would just buy the cheap *** SC420 Dell's to achieve the same thing but I wanted features like hot-swappable: hard drives, PCI cards and power supplies. These beast are made to run forever and a day and not stop. ******* costed $10,000 new, mine were a G each . For 2 2650's and a PowerVault it was like $18,000, that was what a consultant pitched us.

Nice. I just got some new servers, an MSA1000 SAN for 250 gb storage and an Ultrium backup unit. All connected together on a FC SCSI backbone. I can do realtime tape backups in the middle of the day on a single tape! That rules, cuz right now I have to change 14 tapes a day and 3 of my servers are bleeding over to a second tape so I have to swap them in every morning. I'll take pics tomorrow and post em up if I can remember to take my cam with me.

We didnt get a new tape backup since we only have 25GB to backup and our Sony AIT-1 works fine in only 2hours20minutes. We did switch over to Veritas Backup Exec 9.1. We were using NovaStor which was the main reason we were down for a week. Thier software absolutly sucks and I would suggest no one uses it. We are going to start implementing a Disk to Disk to Tape backup and do a tape once a week instead of everyday and differentials on the disk everyday.
