backup systems

[Keith Antoine]

I have the local Chemist who is asking me to build 2 fileservers, not a big 
deal but!

They have a tape backup system that has never been used (8gig) so its a biton 
the old side. In fact I do not think they would know how if the server went 
down or even if it is backing up. Or even if the data is usable.

Due to the sort of proprietorty software the OS is win95, sheesh, and its 
being upgraded to win98. Now I am sure that we could use a raid motherboard 
and employ a backup system similar to raid mirror, as used on most email 
spoolers with hd mirroring. Anyone got experience here ??
