Hey Guys I am fighting with management on the cost and best
method to back up 125TB of new data in my environment. I am running Netbackup
6.5 in a windows environment with 4 media servers. I am currently backing up
53TB mostly to disk first then using an old L180 with 10 SDLT220 drives to
duplicate and send the data offsite.
I have a request from other departments that we need to back
up an additional 125TB of data and send the data offsite. I proposed a new tape
library but management wants to know if this data can be replicated or is there
some other way to get this data offsite that may be cheaper than the cost of a
SL8500 Tape Library in the low $300K range. So I am interested in hearing from
Administrators who are responsible for large environments etc. What method are
you using to store your data offsite?
Thanks
