disaster recovery

[Doug Luurs]

I just sent a long winded email to Richard basically saying to
look at a company called UNITRENDS.  We just purchased a DPU-5000
as our Disaster Recovery unit.  This unit will backup EVERYTHING
You can think of (SCO/Linux/Windows/SOLARIS/ Too many to list).

It also has something called 'Bare Metal'.  This will take a server
straight out of the box, and restore completely (to the last backups)
within 20-40 minutes (Depends on the size of course).  No OS/Appls
install.  

Right now .. The only thing we are having problems with is the SNAP
Servers,
and that is just a permission problem.  But it even backs those up 
(Once configured right).

Just my 2 cents.
