We run our business with our data on a RAID network appliance. This appliance also has a USB connected drive for a weeks worth of daily backups. There is also a large compact flas drive on the front which is a single nightly backup. This is the "grab and go" device.

My plan is to purchase a fireproof (2hr rating) and to store these units in the firesafe. I also need to have some of the most critical data on our network stored offsite.

As far as PCs are concerned, I've been moving all of our units to small SSD drives for fast startup and the old large disk drives are becoming storage/backup drives. The PCs can still boot off the old disk, if the SSD dies.

I was doing backup onto the network drives, but it seemed to take too long.
