Right now we are using CA ARCServe Backup software paired with a Quantum Ultrium 5 Superloader to do tape daily, weekly, and monthly backups. It is very cumbersome and time consuming. I have more important things to do than stand around in the cold server room to manually eject and inject tapes.
I did some preliminary research, and saw Amazon offers AWS Storage Gateway, and Luminex MVT
Has anyone have experience doing the transition from physical to virtual tape solutions? What are some important factors to consider?
I would prefer an offsite, hosted solution, but am open to other options as well.
