Hi, Michael,

I'm almost in the same boat you are, but having some difficulties
around. I finally got some dedicated fibres between two loc although
they will be completely done later this year. I've been trying hard to
do the same thing for a long time, but there are always some other
factors that impedes its implementation such as the distance between two
loc and type of connection and whether you need other operator on vaultr
site or not, etc.

I'm sure you had already answers for the following questions, but I'm
just curiouis when you said 'fast pipe'.. What kind of connection do you
have, dark fiber, T1/T3? According to how many 'hops' you have to reach
the vault loc. the total or sustained throuput will vary significantly.
Also, how much data do you plan to move everyday? As far as I
understand, the HW spec of tape libr shouldn't matter as long as TSM
recognize it. Thanks.

Hi,

We are getting ready to start doing electronic vaulting using TSM.  We
have identical (at least identical where it counts) hardware in both
locations and a fast pipe between them.  Does anyone have any gotchas
regarding electronic vaulting?  Thanks in advance.
