Tell me more ×  We have a NAS server at the company I work for
that is being used for storing photography sessions. Each
session is approximately 100gb. Over the last couple of years
this server has accumulated 10+ TB of data, and we are
increasing the amount of photoshoots exponentially. I estimate
that by the end of next year we will have 20+ TB stored on this
NAS. We are currently backing this server up to tape using LTO-5
tapes with Symantec BackupExec. Since the size of this server
has grown, full backups of this server are not completing
overnight. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to backup this
amount of data? Should we be backing it up to tape? Are there
any other options which may be better?  share|improve this
question Why are you performing Full backups every night? Why
not run a Full backup once a week and run Incremental backups
the remaining 6 days a week? –  joeqwerty Dec 12 '12 at 3:52
That is what we are doing, sorry I did not mention that... the
weekly full is the one not completing. –
