Long-Term Storage
2002-01-08 13:16:24
Good Afternoon,
I am trying to identify the "best solution" for achieving long term
storage requirements. However each option has pros and cons. Would anyone
like to share their long-term storage solution and why they chose that way.
My storage requirement is 7 years.
Here are the options I have come up with so far
Backup Sets:
pros: Can be placed on CD ( lower media cost and easier to store )
Does not require addition client session
cons: A backup set can only be restored in it's entirety.
How to create backup sets for databases backed up with
utilities like SQL-Backtrack or TDP?
Archiving:
pros: Possible to restore single files
cons: I don't think it is possible to archive to CD-Rom. ( Correct
me if I'm wrong )
Cost of tape cartridges to hold 7 years worth of data
extremely expensive.
Requires addition session with client
Additionally one benefit to a backup set would be that if in X years if the
TSM Server is replaced by another product only the TSM client would be
needed to restore a backup set. Whereas to restore archived information the
TSM server would be required.
Thanks,
Jon Martin
