We provide users with network storage, and don't back up invividual
workstations. Keeps things easy to manage, we just back up a couple of
servers instead of hundreds of machines. The disk towers are all Raid 5,
and though we occasionally loose a drive, the raid has yet to fail. We
use several canned setups for the workstations, which are stored on the
network. When a workstation fails, we just rebuild from this.
