Curious what everyone here does for backup? I currently have an old server with an LTO-3 tape drive and BackupExec. Full backup only takes 2 tapes, which I keep offsite monthlies (12 month) and yearlies (forever). Daily and weekly I keep on onsite disk.
I am working on quoting a new backup system. Currently, I am looking SAS LTO-6, 2-tape rack mount library. This will allow me to put my dailies and weeklies back on to tape and free up my disk storage. It will also get me down to 1 tape backups with plenty of room for growth.
I am wondering from you out there, are any newer technologies I should investigate? Is LTO still the way to go hands down?
Thanks!
