Anyone using a Quantum(dxi7500)  dedup solution for this?

We actually have this but I haven't been able to get my hands on it to
try and make it work for my BExec.

How do you handle backup processes?  Do you have their staff take care

RE: Data Center Practices

2009-01-23 Thread Andy Shook 
(disclaimer: I work for Peak10-Charlotte market sales engineer)

I have customers where backups are totally lights out.  We handle their 
internal rotation, their offsite rotation, their restores.  I have customers 
that by disk by the slice and replicate or backup to disk and then we can dump 
to tape or replicate over our WAN to another Peak 10 facility, a.k.a., 
e-Vaulting.  Lastly, I have customers with single drive tape units up to 
mega-ton libraries that they do their own thing and we're just a co-lo for them.

>From what I see on the sales side, IT departments want to get out of the 
>backup business and the "mundaneness" of managing media rotation, be it disks, 
>tapes or replication targets.

I'd be more than happy to discuss this further via phone, if anyone wants more 
details...

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).

We pay them to do it.  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.
