1. 250+ servers

2. 2, possibly looking at a 3rd

3. 15+ TB (growing by GB's daily) 

4. currently 2 servers, with 4 storage nodes, 2 libraries and 14 tape
drives.  Soon to be 2/3 servers with 4-6 nodes, 2 (possibly 3) libraries
and 24 tape drives. 

5. Partial FTE's of 4 people.  An exact amount is difficult to say, as
we have other duties, including on-call duty (part of on-call is backup
related). 

6. no special titles - all IT Analysts

7. Our group (central) handles all backup monitoring and reporting.

8. Windows/Linux/Unix

9. More than 50 servers using SQL, Exchange and Oracle. 

10. We do - we are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  One of us
(4 in our group) is always on call.

Subject: [Networker] Staffing - Survey

Hi Legato Listserve

This isn't a legato/networker specific question .... But, how is your
organization structured for Backup/Storage Staffing.  I'm trying to get
an
idea of how other organizations deal with the storage/server growth
phenomenom - and any information you can provide would be most
appreciated.   Just so we are talking apples and apples - if you could
answer these questions.  I know this is a repeat from 2002 - but things
have changed a bit in the last 4 years.

1.  How many systems do you backup with Networker?

2.  How many Networker Servers (Zones) do you support?

3.  How many TB's of data do you support?

4.  How many storage nodes / tape devices / libraries ?

5.  How many full time FTE are dedicated to supporting legato? (please
use
percentages if partial FTE, for example .5 Windows FTE + .5 Unix FTE)

6.  If you do have FTE's assigned to backups what are their job titles?

7.  How is backup monitoring/reporting handled within your organization,
centrally through data center or decentrally through systems
administrators?

8.  What operating systems are you supporting for servers/storage nodes
and clients?

9.  How many application specific backups do you provide and what type?
(e.g. Exchange, Oracle, Etc)

10.  Who makes sure your backups work on the weekends and vacations?


Thank you in advance for your input.
