| Yep what he said too. You can pick up a switch for about a tenner from www.blankdiscshop.co.uk along with 15m network cables for less than 4 quid. And DVD rewriters for bugger all too and the media from these guys is really cheap too. And definitely keep the interface and data bits of the Access database seperate- it has saved my arse on numerous occasions doing this. Even better, use Access as the GUI but run a proper database system (mySQL or something) to store the data.

| Our database guy more or less mentioned exactly what you ^ said about being able to have one machine as server and the other as slave, but with the ability of installing the backend on each in case of failure. We have server/slave set up now. I have a lot to think about!! |

| For cost effective redundancy I stand by my original posting. £60.00 for a second hard drive, cd/dvd writer will no doubt come with a new pc if you go down that route, plus you get the additional disk space..

| Wow, talk about a complicated solution guys! He's using MS Access, which has a maximum size limit of 1GB. After that it will crash and burn. However, he says the database will not grow much so let's say we have a maximum backend database size of 1GB. I say again "He's using Microsoft Access". Buy a spare hard drive that only needs to be more than 1GB in size. That should cost about ooh a tenner. then switch microsoft access replication on so that it continually replicates the access database to a subscription database on the second disk. Hey presto, bob's your mother's brother. job done. Last edited by Garf : 07-07-05 at 03:13 PM. |

| I have actually got an external 20gb hard drive that I use on my spare PC upstairs to store music and pictures on so it doesn't hogg the main drive. Plus, if I rob the spare office PC we have, of it's hard drive (all 8gb of it) I should be able to get along with this - yahoo!!! Alternatively, I could get another external drive so I'm not fiddling inside a new PC! I think I have a solution!! - Cheers. |
