Our SafeDistance product provides a pure-software solution for backup
storage pool and dbbackup to a remote library.  We use TCP/IP, so any
network link can be used without laying your own fiber!  SafeDistance
allows an ADSM server to transparently use a remote library as if it
were local.

More info can be obtained from our web (link below).  Follow the
"products" link and then the "SafeDistance" link.
