Since the Archiving vs Backup issue got brought up..

I struggle (a lot) with duplicating a longer-retention Monthly clone of my 
weekly backups. We're getting Vault, so that part is settled.
It got me thinking about *why* I do my monthlys (to recover data removed from 
disk that's past my weekly retention period), which is probably more meant for 
Archiving than it is for Backups.

So, I'm curious: What are the trends for Archiving?

We use Quantum stuff (still ADIC labeled), so their StorNext datamoving 
software comes to mind, to age file data from our FC SAN to SATA or Tape. 

We've also thought about a CAS. We're using something like that for email 
(email text is shoved into a searchable database and the file attachments are 
split off, hashed, and stored).


Is there anything that ties nicely into NetBackup? or are they different beasts 
that need to be approached differently?
