DR was one of the primary considerations in going to the STK (Sun/STK) product when we needed more capacity and were moving to a near 100% virtual environment 5 years ago. VSM can duplex to back end tapes natively without any extra software that needs to be purchased. Those tapes can be sent off site for DR. Does VTS now have that ability?
