Does anyone know of a service to "convert" tape formats (i.e. LTO1 to LTO5)??? Or perhaps convert the data to some other media, such as DVD/Blueray/etc???

What I'm getting at is, keeping "forever" may require moth-balling machines so they can be read if necessary.... -- richard "David Mazzaccaro" <david.mazzacc...@hudsonmobility.com> wrote on 06/03/2011 08:12:08 AM: > Hello everyone. > For those who are still backing up to tape > What do you guys have for tape backup policies? > Im curious as to how far back you are keeping tapes 1 year? 5 years? > Ive typically seen a 10 tape rotation w/ a monthly tape put in > offsite storage. > Is this still common practice? > > . > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software. > com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com > with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
