The reason I use disk is its availibility.  My disk storage units simply
have better uptime over my library.  For things like the hourly frequent
sweeps of oracle redo logs, having disk STU allows me to shutdown the
library for lengthy maintenance.  For lots of small backups, the percentage
of time spent mechanically manipulating tapes is large compared to the data
transfer side.  Disk STU's avoid this, too.
 
In short, for what I was doing, my backups are faster & more reliable.

Nbu 5.0 mp3 Solaris 

We are looking into backing up to disk instead of tape. We have looked at
the EMC CDL solution. I am curious to know what other solutions people are
using and their opinions on what they use.
