Not sure - the guys doing the work did a very thorough job and knew what they had to test they put in a lot of hours to test a number of VTLs. I am sure bringing back from tape staged offsite would have been part of it, and all indications were that it worked well.
Senior management hamstrung the project by changing direction at the last minute and it has not gone past a proof of concept stage, so no real production results to speak of.

We trialed a Netapps VTL - I didnt use it, but the reports from the guys who used it (and know their stuff) was that the Netapps virtual to physical staging "just worked" - very hands off and reliable. 


Done any recovers from the off-staged tapes recently??

Best
