We have a weekly archive requirement for our Netapp file servers and are
using TSM NDMP for this.  My opinion is this is one of those "misusing
backups as an archive" situations and I want to change this.

We are looking at 100-150TB a week with LONG term retention and I'm not
sure what options are available.  I first considered using the snapdiff
option, which would give us the ability to spin off new TSM instances as
needed and enable TSM incremental backups.  But it seems to be there
should be a better method, I just don't know what it is.

Any other options out there?

Regards,
Shawn
