What do you folks use to backup your servers? We're using BackupExec (I think) to LTO-3 tape (IBM TS3310 library). The boss is unhappy with this because we create 40-50 backup tapes per week so tape expenses (tapes and storage of tapes) are high. He wants to do something more "modern". We *could* backup to the cloud or local SAN but what do we do for archive purposes?

What solutions are you aware of?

If we replaced the 2 LTO-3 drives with 2 LTO-4 drives, would that do anything for us? The issue is not so much "speed" as it is "volume".

Any suggestions are welcomed.
