Hey All,
Quick question. We recently have switch to a dedicated server at our company and are looking to do back up on our own via internet using MyBookLive drives. Ideally, I would like to use an on-site MBL at the company to back up our server, then have an off-site drive either also backing up the server, or just backing up the MBL at the company. I was told by our IT guy that it could be possible, but we would need a static IP from the ISP of the company. I got one and let him know, he then said I need one for my home (the off site back-up location), before even looking at what these MBL drives are. I need suggestions and preferably instructions on how to do this. I do not have a full grasp of how this static/DHCP stuff works, nor much of the lingo of networking. We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 at the company. Also, would it be possible to just have the MBL plugged into my router at home with the settings in place, without needed a computer running at all times? If I need a computer, would a thin client be sufficient? Any help in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated!
