Block level? Do you mean rawasm?
Anyway, disk-to-disk-to-tape is what we are doing here, so network
throughput would not be the major issue. But when we stage to tape
we must ensure that all tape drives are fed with enough data.
I mean using one of the technologies that backs up only changed
blocks of data across your network to another disk device, then
backing up the changes to tape. If network bandwidth is not a concern
for you though, than this type of technology may not appeal to you.
If it does appeal to you, there are some interesting options such as
Data Domain to look at.
