Network Guru question

We're using Veritas Backup Exec. 9.0. I thought about incremental backups but the problem is getting people, other than just myself, to keep changing tapes. I can't tell you how many times I get sidetracked and forget to change the tape out.

Hit the Chief up with the bad news today. He said to start getting information and, since it's a vital necessity, we will find the funding somewhere.

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
