How To Create a Removable Disk Backup System using Hot-Swap Drives
I recently created a removable SATA drive backup solution for a customer. The project involved about $860.00 worth of parts, along with some free software from Microsoft. It replaced a dead Ultrium 1/8 tape autoloader. A replacement drive was going to cost about $4,050 at the time; or the customer could try to get HP to repair the old one for about $2,500. Plus, the enterprise backup software the customer was using was no longer under support contract. Replacing that contract would have cost another $2,700.
