Recommendations of RAID if you please then :) Nick

So RAID Essential at this level of networking? Nick

Thank you Chris, Symatec System back up is a good idea thinking about it, do Norton still do Ghost? Or have times changed and moved? Nick

How ever... She could say she has been in a bump, if they ask what she was doing... She was just visiting relatives after work (therefore she had a uniform on) Nick

Awesome, That's that sorted then RDP wouldnt be needed. Just a File server and backup server then :) Nick

Its a mySQL system, The system is AutoPart by MAM Software http://www.mamsoft.co.uk/autopart I didnt think about the database on the server thing, that simplifies things. Just put in the server address and database username and password into the client machine software and it will connect...

Yep, For one she was at fault, for two she doesnt have business insurance. Nick

To which bit... lol

Well what im mainly thinking is really... The software uses Databases to store its information like most softwares, it stores, orders... clients... parts... stock... and so on. Now if it was to be installed to a server then the client machines login to the software on that server so they all...

Right so would I be best to use RAID as well as avast also? I want some good security on the server, as we all probably do lol. I shall be meeting my friend tonight at 8pm so I shall get a nice list written and put it up then we can start working things out properly. Its nice to know the...

Yeh I hate norton personally, I use AVG. I have used Avast in the past also, also used ZoneAlarm but that blocks EVERYTHING lol it even blocked its own update software -.-' So out of AVG and Avast? What to recommend I want an anti-virus, malware, spyware and all that too, to save from any form...

Server by the looks of things will be A file server with printer sharing by the looks of things. Possible application hosting that RDP Fatty mentioned. I will be going with Server 2008 looks like it has some nice features and an easy interface to get jobs done. Nick

fBackup looks good mate, seems to do what I have in mind. Think I will go for that. Now how about encryption and security what would be best to go for? Is there any specific server requirements to security or can any old network security packaged such as Norton (although I dont like it) or...

Ahh didnt think about multiple external hard drives... Very good idea. Im sure he would be fine to work on weekly backups as the system would change daily. The software which he will be using I think runs off the server so clients, purchases, invoices will be a daily thing. Nick

Cheers mate, I think I remember reading it does have a backup feature to Server, would I just plug the external HDD's in to the USB of the server then map it as a network drive? for storage. Then have another one for daily backups? Nick

He has no clue on computers, so he is putting it to me to sort his systems out mate. I just assumed as a small company which has the big potential of expanding at a rapid rate to put it all on a small network for now then expand it as we go along. With me doing it from scratch I would know the...

I understand what people are saying with this, get things setup and setup right first time, but with the time frame I have (I do have a fair amount of time on my hands to learn it seems) It wouldn't take me 3 - 4 weeks to learn this kind of thing I shouldn't imagine. Especially for such a small...

Right it's all getting fun an games now :) So many interesting factors to think about I think I'll be going with a basic gigabit switch for now as 2 computers will be plugged in for the first few months - a year then slowly going up from there. Router wise I'm assuming he will be using ADSL...

Big thanks guys now we are cooking :) Fatty, That is great info ill take it into account I'll post up later tomorrow when I have a meeting with my friend I'll list everything he expects from the server and what he wants to do with it. Sbridgey, Many thanks for that information! I have...

I suppose he could I will have to mention it to him since there is still a bit of time I could pretty much learn what to do in that time and how to go about it so hopefully wouldn't come to that but just incase the option is always there. Fatty that freeNAS I've had a quick look do you know if...

Cheers fatty that's the kind of advice I need Where to start so to speak I still have around 3 weeks to a month before he is fitting systems into his office (as its still under construction ) I need to know what systems would be best for the setup he needs and what OS and what kind of...

See this is why I'm here... To learn before I make any mistakes. He wouldn't get a pro in for the fact he wants to keep his business close quartered between family and friends. I want to learn and not be palmed off with answers such as... Get a pro what will I learn from that? Nick

Not really and I know raid has something to do with the hard drives Never looked into either never had to And fatty, I'd prefer to start early in routing the Internet through the server so when expansion inevitably comes its a case of adding a client permission to the Internet than having to...

Im not sure myself, ive just been warned not to let my car get that low or it could, I guess it might be where it sucks fuel up the fuel line as it stretches out through the pipes it breaks the vacuum making it fall back into the tank making anything in the bottom slosh about in it? where it...

No worries matey :) Nick

Wouldnt have thought so, think the worst done would be sucked up any crap in the bottom of your petrol tank into the fuel filter... but thats what its there for. Cant see anything else being damaged. Nick

If your not tech savvy open a support ticket with GoDaddy mate explain the problem and ask can your email server be restarted :) Nick

Crank Position Sensor? Weak Coil Pack? Faulty HT leads? What colour are the Spark Plugs? Check the gaps on them, change them. Give it a service. Check the Idle Control Valve maybe? Breather pipe have a hole in it? Nick

Do you have access to your servers back end? Also depends on server type, weather its Linux running WHM or Windows? Nick

Probably the person your trying to send to isnt accepting emails... Either that or your email server is having problems sending mail. Can you send to any other email? If so that other email isnt accepting emails, if not then your email server may want rebooting Nick
