Re: BRMS

We have been using BRMS for over a year with 2 820s. We use cluster replication 
for
many of our users. We have 7 servers on each system. Backup is to 3590 drives 
in 3494.
We back up around 2 TB/ night. We also save everything else once a month.

Matt - How do you send your recovery report offsite. Currently, we print and 
send off
site with our tapes.
