We have just recently implemented a data domain and so far we love it.
The majority of the issues we had were related to tape. Right now we
are in the process of moving our data from tape to the DDR, once this is
complete we will be implementing the backup at our offsite disaster
recovery system. The compression is great, operations tasks are
decreased already. I would recommend this solution. Tapes are very
finicky and confining.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Need advice on a long term TSM storage solution
Hello All,
Thanks for your help!!
Our TSM server resides on an LPAR with 2 processing units and 12Gb of
RAM. We use an IBM 3584 library with an expansion cabinet and 16 drives
(8-LTO1 and 8-LTO2) We have 16 LTO3 drive on order to upgrade our
drives. Our database is at 80Gb so I think I am ready for a new
instance.
We have a HIPAA requirement to keep certain data for 3 years and other
data for 7 years.
What is the best storage solution for this type of requirement?
I plan to manage the HIPAA data with multiple domains, management
classes, etc but I am not sure what storage medium to use. It seem no
matter which cartridge technology we use that it will end up being a
bunch of work over the years following the tape technology curve. Should
I be looking at something optical or electronic?
Additionally, does it make sense to incarnate another TSM instance?
Thanks for your patience and help!!
Nicholas
