I've been having a good ol' search today for some decent offsite backup products. Rsync appears quite a lot along with ahsey which i've already used somewhat.
Anybody have any other suggestions of some decent offsite backup software? Primarily for windows systems.
You could look at SyncBack (http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/) - We've used it before and it's been excellent for scheduled backups over FTP, Tape, Shared Drives, etc.
It allows you to exclude certain files, produces reports of errors and there's a free version which includes most of the features you need for backups. The full version is about £16.00 and lets you backup locked/open files along with a few other features that are handy.

Find a host who has more than 1 datacentre linked via private fiber and doesn't charge for any transfer across it. Then you can colo a NAS box at one end and your servers at the over.

From the sounds of it he already has the computers/servers he wants to backup and wherever he wants to backup to, just wants a method to do it.
We use cygwin and rsync on windows boxes, free and it works fine for what we need.

Sync2nas is a handy windows front end / gui for rsync. It comes as an installer, no need to install cygwin seperately. I think if you've got quantities of data like that rsync is ideal as it will only send what's changed. You could mount the NAS drive and run it locally as a scheduled task.

Thanks for the link - just been playing about with it and it looks really good. I was looking for something like this for use with a couple of clients networks - cheers!

Following on from my earlier post, just set up sync2nas with a Synology DiskStation and it works well.
