Re: Multimedia Servers and Backup

- If we go the dedicated backup-server with backup over the network, would
it be possible to implement a two-tier scenario where everything is first
backed up to (mirrored) HDs at max. network speed

Yes, I would suggest this...but this would mean purchasing an extra machine PLUS an extra Terabyte of storage. Since 120GB drives would mean you'd need 9 drives, you would need to go external. And when going external, you may as well get a RAID case...at this point, it becomes a hot spare server. A great alternative on this note would be to use a dual-channel RAID box that would let you connect the file server and the backup server both to the same RAID.

(are a sustained 20 MB/s
realistic for gig-E?

For GigE yes, but not for your average hard drives. You can only go as fast as the slowest link.
