We have it on our plan. We will be using tape for
only long term retention of data.
Our plan is to purchase another EMC CDL, and mirror our
existing EMC CDL to the EMC CDL at our DR site. Our master server already
is duplicated, and this will allow us to start restores of stuff that is not
tier 1 applications that already are mirrored to the DR
site.
I would prefer not to save the long term on tape, but
we don't have a solution for any other way to do it at this
time.

Yesterday our director said that he doesn’t intend to ever
upgrade existing STK L700 because eventually we’ll go tapeless as
that is what the industry is doing. The idea being
we’d have our disk backup devices here (e.g. Data Domain) and transfer to
offsite storage to another disk device so as to eliminate the need for ever
transporting tapes.
It made me wonder if anyone
was actually doing the above already or was planning to do
so? _______________________________________________
