Re: Backup devices

I have recently been hired by my employer and have been tasked with
creating a backup strategy. We have a server that currently has less
than 80 Gigs of drive space on it, and less than half of that is
"used." To that end, I've been reviewing possible backup devices and
saw something new (to me, at least) is available. It's called a REV
Drive. I'm wondering if anyone on this list can tell me something about

Use a USB external hard drive. Many of them. Get at least 2X
the size (you can get 500 GB USB drives at www.newegg.com
for about $200).

Use robocopy from MS to copy the contents of the drive.
