Subject: [Veritas-bu] Copy tapes for off-site storage
Hello there netbackup experts!
Looking for ideas on the best way to send tapes offsite. We;re on a =
pretty low budget so vault is out of the question. =20
We have a couple libraries with about 160 tapes. Sending off-site to =
Iron Mountain. We have a Sun 280R driving a library with 6 drives in =
it, two drives for tape copy and the other 4 will be doing the backups. =
Also have a V120 for use to drive the two drives if that sounds like an =
idea.
Please share your success stories regarding tape copy for offsite. any =
suggestions, ideas scripts that you might want to share with all.
Thank you very much for your help !!
