In a Backup/Restore Pickle. Who wants to play super hero?

Just in case Hubtech doesn't get back for a while.
The version was 4 versions old and not under support.

@Dashrender What made you guys think of x86 instead of x64?

That was entirely his idea. He installed it every way he could think though - VMWare ESXi 5.5, x64 VM
Hyper V, x64 VM, Bare Metal X64 - During each attempt to restore the system would just stall out and do nearly or entirely Nothing. Try X86 was just the next step. -

Ouch. I've been a user since 6.0, and it's gotten much better. I made sure I purchased 3 years of support and update on a regular basis. 8.0 is super easy to use and works well with Hyper-V.

OK, Essentially I can't get a restore to work, here's the info:
-
Server 2008 x64 SP2
-
Backup Software - BackupAssist
-
Backup Hardware - Imation RDX External USB 2.0
So I have a question about the RDX box,
What are you thoughts on it and it's throughput? are they decent enough? I've used the 'clone' from Dell RDX 1000 on the SATA bus.
I'd say stay away. I'm done with low level gear

What are the other options though?
Onsite tape? Internet based backup? Some people don't want their data out there, so that means using self controlled encryption keys.. etc.

@Dashrender Synology stuff works good for NAS backups. You could use Rsync to sync two between locations or even sync them to the cloud. (keep in mind you might need to implement some kind of retention when using a sync method).

you can push backups to any NAS if you'd like. We will still do local backups, but i just love the ease of an online backup.

That's what my BA v8 backs up to, a DS412+. Works well and backups only take about 15-20 minutes tops.

it's pretty silly to me that a backup company would keep 9-5 business hours....
