We have recently acquired an F230 which, once it is in production, host about 20GB of data. At the rate which new data is being added, we expect this to hit 80GB within 6 months. At that point, we expect to divide the load between a couple filers to maximize throughput. We will have a daily 8 hour window in which to perform backups. The average file size is about 20kB, and files are never modified or renamed, only created or deleted.

Given this, does anyone have any words of wisdom about how to tackle backups?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have-
