Which is exactly what I'm setting up as we speak, I got an HP iSCSI Storage Works 1000i Virtual library system 1.6Tb I think. This can emulate an 8 disk changer but it's all Hard Drives. Then I got an HP LTO3 0.8Tb (compressed) Backup unit to copy from the Storage Works for Archiving.

I am of the opinion that true "backups" should be done to disk, "archives" should be done to tape. For years Bus and archives have really been one and the same due to technology's inability to truly differentiate them, but that isn't the case anymore.

Luke had the best answer, a full then differentials until the next full backup. That way you only need two tapes to ensure that you have a complete backup set. John H.

Woodrow Wilson -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Carpenter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 8:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Back Up Best Practices What is the latest recommendation on back up processes? We have been small enough to do full back ups daily for some time, but now face time issues with that and need to move to a tiered option. Is F-I-I-I-I reasonable anymore or is it too risky? I do not want to be stuck with a bad full back up in an emergency. -- http://www.otbdesign.com http://www.linkedin.com/in/mqcarpenter ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
