We have a tape library offsite. Backup D2D here at our primary location, then replicate to disk offsite at which point we can archive those things to tape which are appropriate (which are few). TVK

I get a little queasy having backups in someone else's hands, but have been very snappy with their file-level restores. My biggest gripe is that they don't allow us access to the backup media to be able to test a complete server restore. In the case of a disaster declaration they will though. However we might switch collocation providers, and do it ourselves. ________________________________ From: Roger Wright [mailto:rwri...@evatone.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 11:10 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Data Center Practices For those who use a datacenter such as Quest or Peak10: How do you handle backup processes? Do you have their staff take care of that for you, or do you have to visit the center to swap tapes on a regular basis?
