All,
 
I have a question I would like to pose because I respect the vast amount of knowledge
associated with this forum. We are creating a new backup environment due to some changes
and needs.
 
Currently we will be backing up about 40 terabytes of data with a foreseen growth of 30-35% of data annually.
Data being backed up includes, Windows File systems, Unix File systems, Exchange, Oracle and SQL.
Having a Production site and a DR site using present day Best practices and current available hardware
what strategy would you use to set this up? This is even considering purchasing a new library and using LTO4 drives.
The backup system will have a dedicated connection. We currently have 8 HP prolient servers as our media servers
which may stay.
 
We have some thoughts as to how and what we will do including using vtl's and replication for the catalog
but since this forum has so many experienced people I want to get some other professional opinions.
If you could set up (from scratch) a Production backup site and DR site based on those data numbers which hardware and strategy
would you use considering future growth?
 
thanks
-Jackson
