What would be the best approach to backup the SBS 2003 now i'm using the rather useful NAS??
I use DeltaCopy to rsync (push) the data folders on my Windows servers to the ReadyNAS. I've got 3 ReadyNAS 2100's (one primary used to backup about a dozen servers; and 2 installed at 2 remote branches acting as backups to the primary). We've got about 172 GB of data on the primary NAS (I'm not backing up applications /OS; just SQL dumps, e-mail backups, staff data and config stuff). This basically boils down to around 6 GB of data changing daily (which rsync can compress and massage down to approx. 1.5 GB) for the actual WAN backup (which takes about an hour over 10 Mbps fibre):

The servers push their data to the primary NAS via rsync at regular intervals and then every night at midnight I take a snapshot of the shares. Shortly thereafter, I have a Frontview backup job configured on the remote 2100's pull the snapshot data over the WAN.
