thanks for your time.
PS. we are just tired changing tapes and dealing with the backup logs and errors

thanks again.

 

Backup with tapes is a great method of backing up the data.
You first must know how many data you need to backup.
How much you can spend with that solution.
If you have 1000 GB to be backed up then you need also large media tapes like 400GB each and one great system for the tapes (tape robot).
I use the Legato Neworker from EMC and i think it is a great solution but is very expensive as well.
We have a robot with 90 tapes of 400gb each.
Every month we need to arquive the monthly tapes. the remaining portion is made by the application.
