Re: What options other than tape for server backup?

We use TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) to backup clients and servers to disk.
Then, some version gets sent off to tape. So, yes, we're still dealing
with multiple tape volumes. But it's only 2 or 3 per day. Not one per
server or some such thing.

We looked at some eVault like product. Filled out the sizing worksheets
and whatnot. Ended up totally gagging at the price. We were thinking one
unit at each of two locations and one elsewhere. Went down in flames...

I know there's a number of people doing this. IDK if it's just once you
get to a certain size it really starts getting pricey. Or the two local
units, or what. My boss handled the details.
