Hi Mark Thanks for this. Yes, this is one method, but what about a backup solution - ie: now 20 years out of date, no media, no server to restore to and in a format unknown to todays backup systems. What would you do then? :-) the client does not seem bothered, and is happy to destroy the Data.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Retaining Date for 20 years+
Well, netbackup is using tar to write and read to the tape. If you not use multiplexing, and you know what is on what tape, then you can restore backups without netbackup. I have come in front of many companies that have 15 years backups and they try to find a travan tape drive (or other) and the software to read the tapes.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Retaining Date for 20 years+
We've gone through exercises of saving infinite retention backups of systems that we know we can't recreate easily (for example there was one that had a dongle from the vendor required to run the app - we had to return the dongle to avoid continuing to pay license fees). The idea is if you have the data you have a base from which to start. It's a lot easier to tell someone wanting ancient data that the technology no longer exists or is cost prohibitive to recover than to tell them you didn't bother to back it up in the first place. Also as was mentioned earlier in thread we too have gone through the exercise of duplicating old media to newer media. Interestingly management recently realized how much it was costing to keep things at Iron Mountain that they no longer knew why they had it except it was legacy from our big merger years ago. They pretty much had all of it returned so it could be destroyed (or in rare circumstance kept). I would think a client that actually needed 20 years worth of information (e.g. a bank retaining mortgages) would likely keep that as current information or in a data warehouse. One of the things that came out of the recent housing mess is that there has NOT been much thought about keeping information long term (even past 7 years) for this and also information gets lost in the shuffle when the original lender sells the loan to someone else to service. Many people have stopped or delayed foreclosure by using the legal requirement that the financial institution starting the foreclosure process actually produce the original records showing they are in fact the owner of the note.

Re: [Veritas-bu] Retaining Date for 20 years+
Here when we change tape formats, we duplicate the long term retention data to the new format. It's pretty easy with NetBackup, but I suppose worst case scenario you would have to restore it, then back it up again. Probably a better question than can I restore the data? is, once restored, do I still have the application that reads that data? I've already run into this a few times with older Exchange and Oracle backups. It's a mess. -Jonathan ___ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu

If you have a drive, you can use tar to read the tapes (little more work if they are multiplexed.) I am in the process of duplicating about 100 SDLT tapes to LTO4's. - I have kept an SDLT tape drive attached to the master because I have long term tapes.
