One they can afford.
One that doesn’t exceed the technical ability of the staff.
..Twitch’s answer is probably right.. if you are just looking for a basic textbook answer.
With 100 or more computers.. one needs to consider the load on the internal network if all 100 clients get backed up at the same time.. even if that is overnight. 100 small clients is not going to come close to crashing any modern equipment. You did buy / or can afford modern equipment, right?
Then, consider the goal.. if backing up, your business wants to be able to restore data.
What are acceptable times to restore data…
.. to one client who deleted a file. ( if that client is the front-desk greeter, or the VP of marketing, or even your data ) .. techies usually discount themselves; they rebuild their own machines and recover their own data on their own time more often.. while for other employees, data recovery is during appropriate company time.
.. to one group of clients that suffered a power surge
.. to one or more post-office boxes, ( if you run a mail server.)
.. to critical customer data if deleted or misfiled
.. to restore operations in a total catastrophe ( like fire or flood)
Can you afford / technically train more than one person to do all this?
Can you afford off-site tape storage, or off-site data storage?
( will the head tech take tapes home, or will you have a 3rd party hold your data)
…. what happens if tapes get stolen, “borrowed” & copied, lost, misplaced, or the person taking them is arrested / the house or business holding your tapes burns down?
In the event of a lawsuit, how fast can you copy or produce data from backups..
what is your backup policy? does everything get backed up, even Windows or Mac OS?
.. you could “see” if a client computer had a virus that went undetected, or go back over use logs…
Do you keep backed-up data for a month, a year, a decade? Make sure the policy is explainable and standardized.
After you answer all these questions.. then decide on server-based or client-based backups..
tape, external hard drives, cloud backup, disk-to-disk, or d2d2t (disk-disk-tape) backups.
Software solutions or licenses come with annual license fees.. and the company may not be around in 10 years. Make sure you are testing your backups.
