We'd eventually like to eliminate tapes from the mix all together. We're only using them now to take a copy offsite. Ability to do a bare metal restore (that actually works) would be a real nice benefit. Dedupe not necessary.

You're just looking to replace the software elements, and keep the media infrastructure? (disks and the LTO2 library) Or are you looking to improve on what you have at the same time (blowback image backups to VMs instead of bare metal, dedupe files, stick older things into deep/cheap archives, switch to pure disk or LTO5, etc etc) From: Kelsey, John [mailto:jckel...@drmc.org] Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2011 11:48 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Backup / Archive Replacement Currently using IBM TSM as our backup solution. Although we like it and it works well, IBM is just killing us on licensing and maintenance costs. So its time to shop! We currently backup about 200 servers (Windows, Linux, AIX) and about 60TB worth of data. The only 'agent' we use would be for Exchange 2007. We have a mix of disk backups and tapes (LTO2 in an IBM 3584 library). Looking for comments/suggestions on solutions..what's the backup flavor of the month?
