Thanks guys. We back up one server nightly to tape, change the tape everyday, and only have a week on hand at a time. This system is Unix based and not connected to the internet so there has not been any drama. The new accounting system is Windows based (dear God!) and is running on its own server. I was going to back this up to a tape drive or an external hard drive and follow the same practice as the tape. Back up nightly, over write weekly. We are not storing drawings or engineering data or something that might need to be recovered for a customer at a much later date. I just thought an online option might work. I guess the traditional route looks pretty good at this point.
