Been doing so for about 4 years.  I have about 10 SATA Disks in offsite
rotation.
Really speeds up the restore time, and I never need to worry about
tapes!  (Or having a Tape Drive avail at DR site).

Has anyone looked into removable SATA drives as a valid backup
technology for SMB environments?

 I'm trying to determine if
this is really more flexible and cost-effective than virtual tape or
"traditional" disk-to-disk approaches

My eyes aren't that good any more.

Speaking of that, however, 2009-07-04 a new world record was set for
.50cal competition at 1000 yards. 1.955" group of 5 shots. That's
.1868 MOA.

The problem is that you have a Republican Governor.

 

You need to get more Democrats in charge - they'll fix things because
they have a better understanding on how to create jobs.

Ah yes, one of the reasons why I'm glad I left Kalifornia. The
Raleigh/Triangle area is definitely picking up and lots of high tech
companies continue to relocate/expand in the area[1]. It's not great
here yet, but it is getting better. 

[1] The Sony-Ericsson closure announcement yesterday notwithstanding.

workers.  Oh joy...

I personally would love to relocate, but it is just sooo hard to do that
when you're my age, with a family.  Very difficult to find a company
that's willing to even interview over distance, much less help you move
if you do get the job.

Ah well, nose to the grindstone, I guess.  Don't forget, the recession
is over *wink, wink*

I can't speak for all parts of the country, but in the NY/NJ metro area,
things have started to pickup again on the recruitment front for IT
opportunities.  And I get the impression that a few other metro areas
are
also recovering a little.

There has been quite a bit of activity in the 4th quarter, and I expect
to
see even more after the holidays.  (Q1 should be a lot more like 2006
than
we've seen in the past 18 or so months.)

If you are looking, or preparing yourself for opportunities in any way,
be
sure to let me know.  Also, feel free to connect to me via LinkedIn.  I
am
receiving inquiries from recruiters almost daily at this point, for a
variety of sysadmin and development roles in the North East US, and a
few
other parts of the country.

I am more than happy to forward profiles of people I know who are
looking,
or do other things to facilitate connections to companies and
opportunities.

As long as I know, I can help.  Let's take advantage of technology to
help
each other out and get through these tough times.
