RE: enterprise backup system recommendations

Just curious, what kind of insurance reasons? Generally with an
enterprise system like TSM, copies are made of tapes so there is at
least one onsite copy and one offsite copy. Nightly runs can be
ejected so that the offsite copy is easily identified & for off site
storage.

we have just upgraded from dlt to lto3 and we are impressed with the
speeds. We cant use tape libraries as we need to have the tapes taken
offsite every day for insurance reasons :)

we currently use a 50TB freebsd host that does nightly rsync. we have
about 9 months of online backups. we have an Overland Neo4200 (50 slot
,
2 LTO3 drives) connected to it. currently we just tar to tape, but are
looking at HP dataprotector and IBM's backup product for this host.

SDLT, both of which have been very good and reliable brands, but I'd
go
with an LTO if I was building a tape backup system now.

Thanks for the tip.

Any ideas on trustworthy hardware robotic tape units that work with
this?

Thanks

AMANDA is a great piece of software, although I found it somewhat
tricky
to set up at first (the Nabble forums for AMANDA helped me out a
lot).

I think AMANDA is right answer.

For small network you can try BACKPPC or BACULA.

Hi All

I was wondering what you are all using for your enterprise wide
backup



solutions. We actually don't have a solutions in place technically
(I
just back up everything to network shares).

We have money now to purchase a robotic tape library and tapes, but
we



are not sure what has a solid working reputation that is compatible
with Unix/Linux and Windows boxes.

What robotic library tape systems are you using? Would you recommend


it?


Thanks for your help.
