As part of our ongoing commitment to improve your service, we are adding a new Backup Server to our network next week and will be migrating several of our client's servers over to it. This server will be running Windows, and will specifically be installed to backup clients running Windows. It will still be using EMC/Dantz's Retrospect backup software, so it is likely that no changes will be required for current clients. The benefits of this new service will be:

* Fewer clients per backup server.
* Better performance.
* Greater restore capabilities for some Windows-specific technologies.
* Better control over backup timing.

We will likely add just a few servers a night to the new system as each one will require a full backup to start the process. Some firewall settings will need to be changed as backups will be using a different server IP address. We will contact server administrators directly to implement required changes, if needed.
