That right there could be a good reason to look at a tape library....swaps out the tapes automatically.
Or you can also look into a tapeless system to get rid of that problem all together.
Look into offsite companies too....Like I mentioned earlier we used a company called Amerivault. Backups are offsite and secure. They also do offsite of your backups to another vault in another state.
So if the Station should blow up tomorrow you can always get your data back.
Restoring was a breeze too....as I mentioned too I could restore a file quicher in our UK office faster than they could get the right tape in. You manage everything right from you desk
